The Bruins have partnered with the Boston Pride, of the National Women’s Hockey League, to help grow the women’s game in Massachusetts and New England.
The Bruins, the fourth NHL team to partner with an NWHL club, will also “assist the Pride financially,’’ according to a team press release. In a Pride press release, NWHL deputy commissioner Hayley Moore thanked the Bruins for supporting the Pride’s marketing and player development efforts, and hoped to collaborate on “meaningful youth hockey initiatives.’’
Notably: A girls’ learn-to-play academy, in which Pride players will help tutor female first-timers ages 4 through 10.
