Following long-time center Patrice Bergeron’s retirement from the NHL on Wednesday, the Boston Bruins now are on the hunt to determine a new captain for the third time in four seasons.
Some teams find themselves in this same predicament of needing a new captain on a regular basis whether it is due to trades, players leaving in free agency, or just having poor leadership on, and off, the ice. The Bruins, however, historically have had the opposite problem: they have had some of the best leadership in the NHL from the coaching staff down.
Alas, the Bruins are on the hunt for a new captain.
