I think he owes his family far more than he owes some stupid invisible lines we've divided amongst ourselves when it comes to both life and hockey.
So having your summers off being able to retire whenever you'd like isn't enough of a luxury? I wouldn't call Wayne Gretzky a neglectful father but he was at the tournament every time he was asked. That's loyalty and Bourque lacked it later on in his career regardless of how you want to spin it.
Don't take my word for it, Don Cherry himself a guy who never said a negative thing about Bourque criticized him for it in the 1996 World Cup. Shall I bring up the video?
