One of the “Original 6”, the Boston Bruins are one of the oldest teams in the National Hockey League (NHL) and have lifted the Stanley Cup 6 times, most recently in 2011. They will be hoping to return to championship-winning ways this season after consistently reaching the playoffs in the past few seasons. In the summer of 2022, captain and talisman Patrice Bergeron confirmed his intention to stay in Boston for what will be his 19th season, and Bruins fans will certainly be delighted and reassured to see him lead the team once more.
