Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand’s mother Lynn Marchand was among the Bruins moms who arrived in Boston for Wednesday's practice at Warrior Ice Arena, kicking off the team's annual Moms Trip. She took the opportunity to recreate the popular “mom pretends to be son” trend in a hilarious reel on the same day.
The Boston Bruins posted the “Mom pretends to be son: Marchand Edition” on their Instagram account featuring Lynn Marchand in a Bruins’ fan jersey similar to what all the moms wore on the trip. The video was captioned:
“Just a typical day as the Cap.”
In the video, Lynn walked around mimicking her son Brad’s energy and high fived other moms. She was then seen rinkside with a hockey stick shouting in frustration, similar to what the Bruins captain does.
In one hilarious moment in the video, Lynn can be seen sitting on a couch with a laptop. The screen displayed a collage of Paul Bissonnette labeled as ‘people to piss off’. She was next seen giving a locker room pep talk like Brad Marcahnd.
Katrina Marchand later reposted the reel on her Instagram stories with three laughing emojis.
The Bruins also posted another clip from the Bruins mom trip on their X account. It saw Lynn Marchand getting all the moms to stand in a proper line before the group photoshoot.
“Mrs. Marchy getting them lined up 😂 📸”, the post was captioned.
Brad Marchand and wife Katrina attended Bruins’ centennial legacy monument unveiling ceremony
Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand and his wife Katrina attended the unveiling of a six-foot-tall bronze statue celebrating 100 years of Bruins hockey at Portal Park outside TD Garden in December 2024.
The ceremony featured notable attendees, including Bruins legends Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and Ray Bourque, alongside Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
During the event, Marchand delivered a speech expressing gratitude to the Jacobs family, team owners and Bruins fans for their support and pledged to honor the team’s legacy as captain.
“There’s no feeling like skating out onto the ice and feeling the energy of Bruins Nation. As a captain, I promise to give my all every day and to lead this incredible group of players with everything I’ve got,” he said.
The statue, designed by sculptor Harry Weber, honors the Bruins' legacy as the first NHL team based in the United States. It consists of 90 bronze pieces, weighs 3,500 pounds, and is a tribute to the team's history, dating back to their inaugural game on Dec. 1, 1924.
