Owning the Blues has taken its toll on my family. Seeing all of the fans leaving in tears after another Blues' loss is just too much. My family and I can't take it anymore.

Owning the Blues has been a wonderful life experience for our family. We'll miss the thrills of arriving on game night, the big wins, the loyal fans and the best people in the world -- and that's hockey people -- the staff, players, coaches, trainers and everyone associated with the game. We fell in love with hockey and we'll always love the Blues.

It's not like it's a family name.

I'm one of those people who has always been a bridesmaid.

It's kind of like marriage times two. You're 24-7.
