BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Brad Marchand has officially been named the 27th captain of the Boston Bruins.
“I am extremely proud of Brad and the hockey player he has become,” said Boston Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs. “Brad has been a Bruin for over 15 years and had the opportunity to learn from great leaders in Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron. He is ready for this opportunity and our whole team will learn from his competitive nature and tenacity. I am confident he will represent our organization with heart and grit.”
The team made the announcement Wednesday, Sept. 20, naming Marchand Captain.
Currently, Marchand ranks 8th in franchise history in games played, 4th in game-winning goals, 6th in goals, 9th in assists and 7th in points. The Halifax, Nova Scotia native has spent the last 15 years with the Bruins and has become a well-loved staple for the team and for the City of Boston.
