from James Murphy at NHL.com,

Hall of Famer Cam Neely, AHL President Dave Andrews and a pair of Boston coaching legends—Boston University’s Jack Parker and Boston College’s Jerry York—were honored Wednesday night with the Lester Patrick Award for “outstanding service to hockey in the United States.”

While all four were humble when asked about receiving the award and what they had done to be recognized, they were also amazed at the growth of hockey in the United States and proud to have played a role in it.

“You have your number retired by the Bruins, an Original Six club and obviously being in the Hall of Fame is special, but being awarded this award is very special as well,” Neely said.

The award, one of the most prestigious in hockey, was presented to the National Hockey League by the New York Rangers in 1966. It honors the memory of Lester Patrick, who spent 50 years in hockey as a player, coach, and general manager, and was a pioneer in the sport’s development.

The recipients will be honored at the 2008 Lester Patrick Awards Luncheon Oct. 22 in Minnesota. Further details on the event, including ticket information, will be announced at a later date.
