Kevin McNamara: Johnston’s Noel Acciari living his dream with the Bruins

BOSTON — Noel Acciari knows what it means to be a Boston Bruins fan. He grew up as one, after all.

Back in 2011 when the Bruins last lifted Lord Stanley’s Cup, Acciari remembers gathering at his parent’s home in Johnston and grinding out a tough series against the Vancouver Canucks.

“I know exactly where I was when they won in 2011,” Acciari said. “I had just graduated high school at Kent (School, in Connecticut) and was with my buddies back home. We were watching and celebrating when they won that Game 7 in Vancouver. It was just an awesome feeling.
