Brad Marchand and Katrina earlier joined unveiling of the commemorative Bruins statue
Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand and his wife Katrina attended the unveiling of a commemorative statue on November 30. The six-foot-tall bronze “Boston Bruin” statue was revealed at Portal Park outside TD Garden during the team’s Centennial celebrations.
The statue, designed by sculptor Harry Weber, honors the Bruins as the first NHL team in the United States. Weber, who also created the Bobby Orr statue in 2010, crafted the bear from 90 bronze pieces weighing 3,500 pounds.
The event brought together Bruins legends Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and Ray Bourque, along with Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu. Katrina Marchand shared photos and clips from the ceremony on her Instagram.
Brad Marchand gave a heartfelt speech, thanking the Jacobs family, the longtime owners of the Bruins. He spoke about the team’s history and its importance to the city.
“The Boston Bruins are not just a hockey team; they’ve been the heart and soul of the city,” he said.
Marchand praised Bruins fans, calling their passion and support a driving force for the team.
“There’s no feeling like skating out onto the ice and feeling the energy of Bruins Nation,” he added.
He ended by promising to lead the team with dedication and respect for its legacy.
The statue unveiling was part of the Bruins’ Centennial Game weekend. The celebrations continue with a game against the Montreal Canadiens, marking 100 years since the Bruins’ first NHL game.
