The storied hockey club, which plays host at TD Garden, has boasted several Hall of Fame players on the roster, including Phil Esposito, Cam Neely, and Bobby Orr.

Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of the highly successful Delaware North Companies, the Bruins are one of hockey's most successful franchises. On the ice, the team has known periods of greatness, and over the last three decades of the 20th century, it was one of the most consistent winners in all of team sports, making the Stanley Cup playoffs 29 consecutive seasons.

Associated Hotels, LLC is an organization with its roots based in hotel ownership. Chicago based Associated was formed in 2006 as the successor company to Seymour N. Logan Associates, a long standing private hotel and real estate company. Managing assets on behalf of individual investors provided the principals of Associated Hotels with entrepreneurial attitude that inspires vision, innovation and creativity and at the same time demands fiscal discipline and measures results. It is this operational philosophy that Associated believes is the formula for a successful hotel investment and Associated Hotels, LLC has the track record and relationships that prove it. Associated possesses all the capabilities expected from a first-class hospitality company – an experienced staff, comprehensive operations, up-to-date information systems, effective marketing, food and beverage services and aggressive renovation and construction skills. The difference, however, is Associated Hotels’ outstanding ability to recognize where, when, and how these “tools” can be used to yield the greatest short and long-term benefits.
