Many Bruins fans feel as though every day is “Patrice Bergeron Day,” but Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022, is now officially the captain’s day in the eyes of the state.
In celebration of Bergeron’s 1,000th career point, Gov. Charlie Baker presented Bergeron with a proclamation declaring this his day.
Bergeron, in return, gifted Baker with a signed jersey. “Thank you for everything!” Bergeron wrote. “Congrats on your new role with the NCAA. Good Luck!”
The Bruins also gave Bergeron a $37,000 donation to Patrice’s Pals, a personalized cake, and many other gifts.
