The Boston Bruins have officially announced that Brad Marchand will be taking over as the team’s captain from Patrice Bergeron. This marks the first time in nearly a decade that the Bruins have had a new captain, and Marchand is ready to take on the responsibility.
Marchand has been a part of the Bruins organization since 2009, when he was drafted in the third round of the NHL Entry Draft. Since then, he has become one of the most productive players in the league, recording 521 points (214 goals and 307 assists) in 588 games. He has also been a key part of the Bruins’ success, helping them to two Stanley Cup Finals appearances and one championship.
Marchand is no stranger to leadership roles, having served as an alternate captain for the past two seasons. He has also been a leader in the dressing room, setting an example for his teammates with his work ethic and commitment to the team.
Now, Marchand will take on the role of captain, and he is confident that he is ready for the challenge. “I’m honored and humbled to be named captain of the Boston Bruins,” said Marchand. “I’m ready to take on this responsibility and lead this team to success.”
Marchand will be taking over for Patrice Bergeron, who served as captain for the past eight seasons. Bergeron has been a leader on and off the ice for the Bruins, and his presence will be missed. However, Marchand is ready to step up and take on the role of captain.
The Bruins are confident that Marchand is the right man for the job, and they are excited to see what he can do as captain. With his leadership and experience, Marchand is sure to be a great leader for the Bruins.
