The Boston Bruins are set to commemorate their 100-year anniversary in a special way.
Before embarking on their follow-up to a record-shattering 2022-23 campaign, the Black and Gold will first celebrate their 100th year as a franchise by assembling an All-Centennial Team, per team announcement on Monday. Voted on by a team-appointed committee of 30 people, Boston intends to acknowledge the 100 most legendary players to ever sport a Bruins uniform.
The final 20 players -- 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goaltenders -- will also be chosen by the committee and make up the All-Centennial Team.
Among those appointed by the Bruins are NESN's Steve Garabedian, Rose Mirakian-Wheeler, Brian Zechello and retired broadcaster Dale Arnold. They're joined by others from various media outlets.
