QUOTES SURROUNDING THE SUN'S GAME AT TD GARDEN:

"The Sun is New England's professional women's basketball team with passionate fans across the region. Hosting our game in Boston, a place full of such a rich, winning tradition for New England sports, just made sense. Our vision is to provide access and exposure to the Connecticut Sun brand to thousands of sports fans, children and their families, and for young girls to see first-hand that they can play at Boston's hallowed TD Garden someday. This all would not be possible without the support of our partners at TD Garden and the Boston Celtics family, sharing their world class fan experience playbook with us. We are proud to be New England's WNBA team, and we can't wait to shine in Boston." - Jen Rizzotti, Connecticut Sun President

We know that Boston and the surrounding New England area has a strong passion for the game and a historic sports tradition. We are honored to partner with the Boston Celtics and TD Garden to showcase the WNBA and to help expand Connecticut Sun fandom to such a supportive and enthusiastic sports community."- Darius Taylor, Connecticut Sun General Manager
