The Boston Bruins plan on giving back to their supporters here in Connecticut, as well the other five New England states, this summer. The team is taking its first ”Summer Fan Fest Tour” and will make a stop at Bushnell Park in Hartford on Wednesday, Aug. 30.
From 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., fans will be able to participate in various events alongside Bruins players, coaches, executives, and broadcasters for free, including Q&A sessions, taking photos and more.
This initiative is in conjunction with the Bruins Academy’s “Learn to Play” program, which gives new equipment to youth players from local communities, as the organization expects to provide more than 4,000 children between 4 and 9 with gear prior to the season.
Youth hockey players will also be able to participate in drills and kid-friendly fitness activities.
In addition, sponsors will be giving away tickets to various home games for the 2017-18 season.
More information regarding the tour can be found on the Bruins’ website.
