Bruins’ rookie defenseman Matt Grzelcyk can almost hit his home with a slap shot launched from a clean TD Garden sheet. His dad – a member of the bull gang that transforms the Garden from basketball to hockey – also has a hand in that.
Life for the Grzelcyk family is rooted in Charlestown. And on the ice.
The hockey life of Matt Grzelcyk stretches from the youth leagues of Boston to Belmont Hill to the US National Team Development Program to Boston University to last spring with a few stints with the Providence Bruins after BU’s season ended and the recent Bruins’ rookie camp.
