The Boston Bruins Honor Boston Marathon Bombing Victims with Special Decals

The Boston Bruins kicked off the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a touching tribute to the victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The team wore special blue and yellow decals on their helmets featuring the year 2013 and the phrase "One Boston" to commemorate the tragedy that shook the city.

The decals were worn by the team during their Game 1 match-up against the Florida Panthers, which fell on the same date as the 2023 Boston Marathon. The timing of the game made the tribute even more significant, highlighting the strong bond between the city, the team, and the event.

Former Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who was a member of the Stanley Cup-winning team in 2011, ran in this year's marathon, adding to the emotional connection of the occasion. It's inspiring to see the team using their platform to pay tribute to such an important event and honor the resilience of the Boston community.

In the end, the Boston Bruins may have lost Game 1 to the Florida Panthers, but the team's tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing won the hearts of many. The decals worn by the team serve as a reminder of the tragedy that occurred in 2013 and the strength of the Boston community that has overcome it.
