Ahead of his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame tonight, details have emerged about what fans can expect on Dec. 1 when Patrice Bergeron’s No. 37 is sent to the TD Garden rafters.
Bergeron’s number will be the 14th one retired by the Bruins.
The Boston Bruins announced that 2011 Stanley Cup champion and Bergeron’s former teammate Andrew Ference will host the pregame ceremony with appearances from Bruins alumni during the event. Ference also held emcee honors during Zdeno Chara’s No. 33 retirement
ceremony.
Fans can head to the Hub on Causeway at 4 p.m. for a Gold Carpet, which will be walked by alumni before the number retirement ceremony is slated to begin at 6:10 p.m.
Puck drop for the Bruins’ game against the Colorado Avalanche will start at 8 p.m.
For those who won’t be in attendance at the game, the ceremony will be shown on the NESN broadcast beginning at 6 p.m.
