Today, we are gathered to mark the passing occupation of dear friend, comedic icon, and Stanley Cup winner Peter Chiarelli.
Even though we are Flames fans, we want to assure everyone that this eulogy is delivered from a place of love. The logo he represented certainly stirred bile in all of us, but the true mark of a genius is the respect and admiration of your enemies, and we are proud to count ourselves among Chiarelli’s fanbase.
Peter was a generous man, always giving others everything he could and asking for little in return. The NHL, Western Conference, Pacific Division, and especially Southern Alberta (also New York City, we can’t forget them during this trying time) will miss him dearly.
