The team’s rich history has been saluted during a year of special events and signature game nights. On Saturday, a slap shot from the arena, the Bruins’ Centennial Legacy bear monument was unveiled, a 3,500-pound bronze colossus that was created to reflect the spirit and resolve of the team and the city it calls home.

The Bruins are celebrating 100 years as the Boston Bruins, defeating the Montreal Maroons two to one, back in 1924, their first ever win.
