Bruins To Commemorate 100th Year With Selection Of All-Centennial Team

BOSTON -The Boston Bruins announced today, July 10, that the organization will commemorate its 100th year with the selection of an All-Centennial Team, comprised of the most legendary players in franchise history as voted upon by an independent committee of journalists and media members, historians and members of the hockey community.

The independent selection committee, appointed by the club in June, will be asked to vote for who they believe are the 100 most legendary Boston Bruins players of the organization's first century. Their votes will be aggregated to create a final list known as the "Historic 100" that will be released in September.

At that time, the selection committee will then gather both in-person and virtually to deliberate and debate as they determine the final 20 players (12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goaltenders) that will comprise the All-Centennial Team.

The All-Centennial Team will be revealed at the Centennial Gala on Thursday, October 12.

Beginning in September, once the "Historic 100" has been announced, fans will also have the opportunity to select and share their own individual All-Centennial Teams using an online portal available through the Bruins website and social media channels. Fans will be able to create, download and share their All-Centennial Team roster cards for friendly debate and discussion across social media.
