With no Bruins captain in place, Charlie McAvoy & David Pastrnak are ready to build new culture

The Bruins’ efforts of righting the ship and putting a disastrous 2024-25 season in the rearview mirror began in earnest Tuesday morning.

While Boston’s full-squad training camp will not begin until September 17 at Warrior Ice Arena, a sizable crop of the Bruins’ roster took to the ice in Brighton for an informal captains practice. More than 20 players took part in two hour-long sessions that featured several competitive drills.

Captains practices have been commonplace in Boston for years, with the onus usually falling on past captains like Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand to organize the skates as a way to shake off the rust before camp commences.
