BOSTON – The Bruins will host their first era night of the Centennial Year in celebration of “The Early Years” (1924-1959) as they host the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, October 28 at 7 p.m. at TD Garden. As part of the celebration, unique content, in-arena contests and entertainment will carry an “Early Years” theme throughout the night.
The Bruins will host a pregame ceremony highlighted by special appearances of family members descended from some of the franchise’s core builders. Additionally, the Bruins will recognize three of the club’s longest-tenured fans, Season Ticket Holders for 100 years since 1924, Ursula Keleher (Charlestown, MA), Matthew Lathe (Brookfield, MA) and Adrienne O’Brien (Winchester, MA), with a gift presentation on the ice prior to puck drop.
Also on Saturday night, fans can collect the first mini pennant in a series of five, each of which will be given out at turnstiles at the various Era Nights throughout the season.
The Bruins will don their Centennial alternate jerseys against the Red Wings, in keeping with the retro theme of the evening. To view the full alternate jersey schedule, click here.
