Patrice Bergeron remains humble: Though he was fully committed to supporting friends’ inductions into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday (including ex-teammates Zdeno Chara and Joe Thornton), former Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron’s own moment being welcomed into the sport’s hallowed institution may not be far off.
Bergeron, 40, retired from his playing career in 2023 after 19 seasons with the Bruins. During that time, the perpetually valuable centerman was a three-time All-Star, a six-time Selke Trophy winner, and a vital member of the 2011 Stanley Cup champions. He was also a two-time gold medalist playing for Canada at the Olympics.
