Resisting the temptation to overfill their celebration of 100 Years of Bruins hockey celebration created a memorable and well-designed event.

The Bruins capped off their centennial celebration on Sunday with an extended pregame ceremony featuring several legends.

The team’s rich history has been saluted during a year of special events and signature game nights. On Saturday, a slap shot from the arena, the Bruins’ Centennial Legacy bear monument was unveiled, a 3,500-pound bronze colossus that was created to reflect the spirit and resolve of the team and the city it calls home.
