The Boston Bruins Release a Huge Announcement
The anticipation is building as the Boston Bruins prepare to return to Warrior Ice Arena for the start of their 2023-24 centennial season training camp.
Jim Montgomery and his coaching staff are set to kick off the foundational work on Wednesday, beginning with off-ice testing at the Brighton facility. The first on-ice session is scheduled for Thursday morning, and the preseason action starts Sunday evening with a matchup against the Rangers.
During the next two-plus weeks, the Bruins will engage in regular split-squad practices and participate in six preseason games before the regular season opener against the Blackhawks on October 11th.
Here's a glimpse of the Bruins' training camp roster:
Forwards: Joey Abate, Vincent Arseneau, John Beecher, Jesper Boqvist, Justin Brazeau, Patrick Brown, Alex Chiasson, Charlie Coyle, Jake DeBrusk, John Farinacci, Trent Frederic, Morgan Geekie, A.J. Greer, Curtis Hall, Brett Harrison, Danton Heinen, Trevor Kuntar, Jakub Lauko, Milan Lucic, Fabian Lysell, Brad Marchand, Marc McLaughlin, Jayson Megna, Georgii Merkulov, David Pastrnak, Owen Pederson, Matt Poitras, Anthony Richard, Oskar Steen, Luke Toporowski, James van Riemsdyk, Pavel Zacha
Defensemen: Frederic Brunet, Michael Callahan, Brandon Carlo, Jackson Edward, Derek Forbort, Matthew Grzelcyk, Hampus Lindholm, Mason Lohrei, Ryan Mast, Charlie McAvoy, Ian Mitchell, Alec Regula, Dan Renouf, Ethan Ritchie, Kevin Shattenkirk, Reilly Walsh, Parker Wotherspoon, Jakub Zboril
Goaltenders: Brandon Bussi, Michael DiPietro, Kyle Keyser, Shane Starrett, Jeremy Swayman, Linus Ullmark
While the defensive and goaltending groups appear relatively stable, the forward roster is a mix of veteran signings, PTO candidates, prospects, and regulars, all competing for limited spots, especially in the bottom-six unit.
Milan Lucic, Trent Frederic, and Morgan Geekie seem to have an early edge for spots on the third and fourth lines, but the rest of the lineup will take shape in the weeks to come.
