One hundred years to the day since the Bruins first took to the ice on Dec. 1, 1924, the Bruins celebrated their centennial on Sunday in an extended pregame ceremony.
Boston’s Centennial Game ceremony took place on the TD Garden ice more than an hour ahead of puck drop between the Bruins and Canadiens — with decades of spirited scraps, hockey legends, and iconic plays chronicled in the extended celebration of the oldest U.S.-based club in the NHL.
Sunday’s event — which featured appearances from multiple Bruins alumni from the “Big Bad Bruins” era all the way to the 2011 Cup-winning club — served as the culmination of over a year’s worth of festivities involving the Bruins’ 100 years in Boston.
