Greater Boston embraces Bruins’ return to roots

Now that the Bruins have moved into their new training facility at Warrior Ice Arena, that dream is now a reality.
As part of the Grand Opening festivities on Thursday night, youth hockey All-Star teams from the Boston area, including Dorchester, Allston and Brighton, got their first chance to skate with select Bruins alumni, including Bob Sweeney and Rick Middleton, on the same ice as the current crop of Black and Gold members.
