Chase Rice: Kicking off Stanley Cup is ‘coolest thing you can do’ Posted May 28, 2019 Chase Rice didn’t have to think long before jumping at the chance to kick off the Stanley Cup Finals in Boston. “I love this town,” the country singer told the Herald before he performed in front of thousands. “I’ve been a Red Sox fan since probably the ’90s and there’s something about Fenway for me. I’ll come up here for a day game and go home.” (Boston Herald)
