Boston Bruins Announce ‘Historic 100’ List Of Players

In coordination with their 2023-24 Centennial season, the Boston Bruins have announced the ‘Historic 100’ list of the team’s 100 most legendary players.

The list was voted on and compiled by the team’s All-Centennial Team Committee of journalists and media members, historians, and members of the hockey community.

As expected, hall of famers such as Bobby Orr, Eddie Shore, Milt Schmidt, Johnny Bucyk, Phil Esposito, Ray Bourque and team president Cam Neely were on the ‘Historic 100’ list. To no one’s surprise future hall of famers and former Boston Bruins captains Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron also made the list.

There were also what some consider surprises, like current Boston Bruins winger Milan Lucic and former Bruins wingers Shawn Thornton and Nathan Horton.

The All-Centennial Team Committee has also selected the All-Centennial team (12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goaltenders) that will be revealed at the Centennial Gala on Thursday, October 12.
