The Bruins hired a new official anthem singer for the first time in over 40 years

After an iconic run of over 40 years from Rene Rancourt was ended following his retirement in 2018, the Bruins announced via press release Thursday that they have named Todd Angilly their new official national anthem singer for the upcoming season.

Angilly, 44, is originally from Warwick, Rhode Island and now lives in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. Angilly’s day job is as a probation officer, but he also spends time as a bartender at the SportsDeck in TD Garden during Bruins and Celtics seasons.

Angilly first performed the anthem for the Bruins in November of 2017, when he was asked to fill in last-minute for a previously scheduled anthem singer while working the bar at the SportsDeck.
