The Boston Bruins Have Issued A Statement
On this historic date in 1947, the Boston Bruins commemorated a legend as they retired Dit Clapper's No. 5 jersey, joining Lionel Hitchman's No. 3 in the hallowed rafters of the Boston Garden.
Clapper, a revered figure in Bruins lore, earned this prestigious honor for his remarkable contributions to the team throughout his illustrious career.
As one of the franchise's most celebrated players, Clapper's legacy continues to inspire future generations of Bruins faithful.
On this date in 1947, Dit Clapper's No. 5 was retired by the Bruins, becoming the second number in team history (along with Lionel Hitchman's No. 3) to be honored in the Boston Garden rafters.
This enduring tribute serves as a testament to his enduring impact on the organization and solidifies his place among hockey's immortals in Boston's storied history.
