A Statement from Patrice Bergeron | Boston Bruins

When I was around 12 years old a teacher asked everyone in my class to write about our dreams. For me, my dream was already clear: to become a professional hockey player.

Heck of a career. The type of guy who kills your team in division but that you can’t help but admire and respect.

Happy trails.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Congrats on a great career.

 

[Sheppy]

A Hall of famer, a warrior, the ultimate leader and the best defensive forward to ever step foot on the ice.

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Congratulations on a legendary career


Also: in b4 "more intangibles than Toews" because we already know that

Incredible player.

Enjoy retirement!

damn, I thought for sure he'd come back for 1 more season and be a part of the Bruins Centennial.

How soon until the Selke gets renamed...

 

[Amadeus]

Kudos on a great career that could have ended way way too early due. So glad it didn't and I got to see a master at his craft.

 

[J bo Jeans]

I think its time the Selke is renamed to the P. Bergeron Trophy

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This hurts the Bruins mightily.

One of the most perfect players and humans.

Well deserved, yet too early.

 

[Gee Wally]

Crap.

37 to the rafters.
next stop HHoF.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Absolute legend. First Ballot HOF. All time great.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

even has a huge Bruins hater its impossible to hate Bergeron great career probably the best defensive center ive seen in my lifetime

guaranteed hall of famer sad news for the hockey world

 

[Pi]

First ballot HHOFer.

I am just surprised that he really didn’t come back, thought losing the way the Bruins did last year would guarantee him coming back but I guess the injuries and overall grind must have taken a toll on his body. He could seriously win the Selke next year if he wanted without it being a reputation based win.

Congrats

Enjoy retirement

 

[WTFMAN99]

As a Leaf fan, I can't even hate the guy, hell of a player and just a classy player.

Congrats on a fantastic career.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Fantastic career. Will go down as one of the greatest defensive players ever. Part of some very strong contending teams and got himself a ring

A leader every team dreams of having.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Will go down as one of the best two way centers to play the game. Enjoy retirement!

 

[North Cole]

Hell of a career, looking forward to hearing his speech. Makes me feel old

 

[John Price]

Happy trails to a great one enjoy retirement Bud
