Bruins and TD Garden associates will be getting their checks issued on June 4GETTY IMAGES
Ushers, concessionaires and other employees of the Bruins and TD Garden next week "will receive their relief checks" from the $1.5M fund established two moths ago by the Jacobs family and the Bruins that was "contingent upon the club's remaining five home games of the 2019-20 season being canceled," according to Kevin Paul Dupont of the BOSTON GLOBE. The NHL on Tuesday formally canceled the remainder of the season, approximately 15% of the league's overall schedule. Checks from the relief fund, "believed to provide approximately 1,500 employees/associates each with a minimum payment of $500, will be issued Thursday or Friday of next week." Bruins and TD Garden associates "will be issued their checks June 4, while Sportservice employees -- the concessions staff employed by Delaware North, which manages TD Garden -- will receive payments June 5." Emails to each of the 1,500 associates were sent out yesterday morning, "notifying them that payouts were being processed" (BOSTON GLOBE, 5/28).
