Jake DeBrusk always looks forward to traveling home to Edmonton and seeing friends and family. During the Bruins’ most recent trip west, work and home got to intertwine.
Before the puck dropped for Wednesday’s game between the Bruins and Oilers, which the visitors won 2-1 in overtime, DeBrusk was interviewed at ice level by his father, Louie. Louie DeBrusk, who enjoyed an 11-year NHL career, is a hockey analyst for SportsNet Canada.
It wasn’t the first time the pair’s relationship was highlighted on television. After Jake scored his first NHL goal, a clip of Louie tearing up in the TD Garden stands went viral.
