Now NHL’s heaviest team, are Bruins looking to go back to ‘big bad’ brand of hockey?

PLYMOUTH — Trent Frederic, Charlie McAvoy, and the rest of the Bruins won’t hit the ice for a full-squad practice until next week.

But be it informal skates in Brighton, walking the halls at Warrior Ice Arena, or chatting on the golf course, one thing has already become apparent whenever the 2024-25 Bruins gather together. Size won’t be an issue on the frozen sheet this season.

“It’s crazy walking around. I feel like I’m pretty average size or smaller on our team now,” Frederic (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) noted.

“I think that’s something that stood out to me when I got traded here, is how big and heavy everybody is,” Mark Kastelic (6-foot-4, 226 pounds) said last week.
