One of the best parts of the holiday season is that it inspires people to give back and spend time with those who need it most. Teams like the Boston Bruins participate in a number of service projects every year to support the local community.
Zdeno Chara spreads holiday cheer in the community
On Friday, Bruins captain Zdeno Chara partnered with New Balance to provide 2,700 pairs of socks to Boston-area shelters.
Then, Chara went to West End Boys and Girls Club to deliver 130 small gifts to the children. Chara and the children played roller hockey in the newly-renovated gym.
