Jim Montgomery issued a statement to Boston Bruins fans regarding a upcoming event
Head Coach Jim Montgomery will join the Boston Bruins in an upcoming event this weekend.
The Bruins fan fest will happen as a trio of events in Lewiston, Maine and Montgomery will be the main guest to meet and greet fans there.
"It's nice because you get to see familiar faces. You get to see the excitement of the fans, especially the energy they bring to our home games and to these types of events in the community is outstanding," Montgomery told Jared Carrabis and Tom Caron on NESN's "Unobstructed Views" on Tuesday. "And, it starts the ramp up to training camp."
The event will happen on Friday in Main, and will be followed by two events at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass and the Memorial Hall in Plymouth, Mass.
Bruins head coach Montgomery has made a note of how passionated fans in New England are about their teams, mentioning how much the fanbases love the Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics. Boston is a city of diehards.
"I do know that in our league, Bruins fans are special," Montgomery said. "They travel well. They travel all over North America to support us, and they come in droves. I ask a lot of them, if I'm in Western Canada or Southeast United States, 'How come you guys are Bruins fans?' And there's usually two reasons -- it's either Bobby Orr or Ray Bourque and the future of Boston fans, it's probably going to be Patrice Bergeron's name coming out of their mouths."
Jim Montgomery will begin his third season as the Bruins head, coach and has been to the playoffs every season he's coached here.
