The Montreal Canadiens will send a team of notable alumni to Foxboro, Mass., next month to face a collection of Boston Bruins old-timers. Thanks to Jacques Demers, we now know exactly which former Habs will be making the trip.
Demers, who will coach Montreal in the 2016 Winter Classic alumni game, announced his roster Sunday night on Canadian sports talk show “L’Antichambre.”
Here’s a look at the full squad, which includes two Hockey Hall of Famers (Larry Robinson and Steve Shutt) and more than a dozen Stanley Cup winners:
The Bruins have yet to announce their contingent for the game, which is set for Dec. 31 at Gillette Stadium, but TVA Sports released a reported roster late last week.
Team president Cam Neely and general manager Don Sweeney both are on that list, as are B’s legends Ray Bourque and Terry O’Reilly. Some other notables include current Bruins radio color man Bob Beers, 2011 Stanley Cup winner Mark Recchi and Marco Sturm, who scored the Winter Classic-winning goal in 2010, his final season in Boston.
Neely revealed earlier this month that Don Cherry and Mike Milbury will serve as co-coaches for the Bruins alumni, and that the goalie matchup will pit Boston’s Andrew Raycroft against Montreal’s Jose Theodore.
