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).
