Henrik Lundqvist to be honored with bus in NYC

A ceremony will take place in front of Madison Square Garden on Tuesday at noon to honor Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist with his very own bus.

Lundqvist will join Whoopi Goldberg, Donald Trump and Rachael Ray as the latest celebrity inducted into Gray Line New York's "Ride of Fame" campaign which honors exemplary New Yorkers by bestowing a bus in their fleet. A ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil Lundqvist's personalized Gray Line New York bus will take place on the Seventh Avenue side of the Garden. Immediately following the ceremony, Lundqvist will board his bus to take the inaugural ride with 50 lucky fans.

"I'd like to thank Gray Line New York for their support of the Rangers and particularly their continued support of the Garden of Dreams Foundation," said Lundqvist. "The kids always look forward to the tours of the city, sitting on the upper deck. Being able to now do them on a bus featuring myself and the Rangers is a great honor."
After the event, the official Henrik Lundqvist bus will enter into Gray Line New York's regular rotation, granting millions of sightseers the opportunity to ride the bus every day.
