Editing 2009 Coupe Balbuzard Final (section)

== Cultural importance ==

Because of Boston's Coupe Balbuzard victory the year prior, the game was held at their own home arena. Lavish celebrations were held after their victory, on which [[Theodore Maxwell]], owner of the Spirits, later commented: <blockquote>
We were working with the City's office in the days before the game to set up all those fireworks and festivities in case we won. And it was a scary thing to do—I mean, we hoped we weren't jinxing ourselves by setting up all these things, you know! I was worried it would put a lot of pressure on Charley [Milner] and the rest of the boys but, at the same time, if we don't celebrate winning in hockey, then, are we really Valorian? And if any win deserved celebrating, it was that one—it was the greatest sporting performance I'd ever witnessed. </blockquote>After their victory in this game, Boston went on to win the 2000s star, thanks to in large part to their historic years-long comeback achieved as late as possible.

The game, along with the years-long buildup leading to it and Boston's eventual star victory, was the subject of the 2016 documentary ''Supernova''.
