WATERTOWN, Mass. - Patrice Bergeron and his Bruins teammates gathered for the team's annual holiday toy shopping event on Monday morning at Target. The players picked out gifts - purchased through donations by the Bruins players and Boston Bruins Foundation - that will be given out to hundreds of children in local hospitals who are unable to spend the holidays at home.
"It's always special to come here and take an hour of your day," said Bergeron, who has spearheaded the event since 2010. "To know that it goes a long way and it's going to bring a lot of joy to kids that are in need and don't get to spend Christmas at home…it's special for us to be here and it's easy to do."
