Whose campaign did Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and his son Charlie donate to? Are NHL players about to have a pay cut shoved down their collective throats? When will David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand be flanking Patrice Bergeron on the ‘Perfection Line’ again?



All that and more in the latest Boston Hockey Now Puck Links!

If you were to take a wild guess who Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and his son Charlie made campaign donations to, the guess here is that, like this puck scribe, you’d instantly think of Donald Trump and various other GOP members. Well, like yours truly, you’d be surprisingly incorrect.

NHL hockey will still be on NBC in the states whenever the 2021 NHL regular season kicks off but what about after this upcoming season? The league’s TV contract with NBC expires after the 2021 season and multiple TV and streaming networks are expected to bid on all of or part of the new NHL TV contract. (Forbes)
