For any casual hockey fan or other people who are unfamiliar with the history of the Boston Bruins, there are two names that Bostonians always discuss as an introduction to the franchise — Bobby Orr and Milt Schmidt.
The legendary Bruins and Hockey Hall of Famers are etched in Bruins lore forever. Always celebrated for their contributions to the game and their philanthropy off the ice, their lives are cherished from Maine to Rhode Island, Nantucket to Martha’s Vineyard, Charlestown to Boston and numerous places throughout New England.
There was another reason to celebrate Orr and Schmidt during the home opener against the Devils at TD Garden.
