BRIGHTON — Imagine a kid skating on the same ice as the Bruins in the Boston area. For the last 30 years, the only place to do that was on Causeway Street — through Mini 1-on-1 or a quick game during one of the intermissions.
Now that the Bruins have moved into their new training facility at Warrior Ice Arena, that dream is now a reality.
As part of the Grand Opening festivities on Thursday night, youth hockey All-Star teams from the Boston area, including Dorchester, Allston and Brighton, got their first chance to skate with select Bruins alumni, including Bob Sweeney and Rick Middleton, on the same ice as the current crop of Black and Gold members.
