The Boston Bruins are taking their outreach beyond the ice, announcing a series of community‑focused events that will travel through Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the lead‑up to the 2026 season.
Community‑Wide Celebration
The tour, branded as the 2026 Fan Fest: Road to Opening Night, will make stops in Warwick and Worcester, offering fans a chance to experience interactive hockey games, meet current players and alumni, and explore exhibits that showcase the team’s history.
Presented by TD Bank U.S., the initiative is designed to grow the sport’s footprint in New England by inviting both longtime supporters and newcomers to engage with the game in fresh, family‑friendly ways.
Highlights include the BFit Combine hosted by the Boston Bruins Foundation, where families can participate in fitness and wellness stations, and a special Patrice Bergeron Look‑A‑Like Contest in Warwick that awards tickets to the star’s upcoming number‑retirement ceremony.
Local food vendors and trucks will line the venues, providing a taste of regional cuisine while fans design custom hockey trading cards at the TD station, with TD Cardholders eligible for exclusive Bruins‑themed giveaways.
Partnerships and Future Opportunities
Admission is free, though the Bruins encourage pre‑registration to streamline entry, and season tickets for the 2026‑27 NHL campaign are already on sale through the team’s official website.
NESN, the regional broadcast partner, will be on site at both locations, bringing live coverage and behind‑the‑scenes content to viewers across New England.
Boston Bruins President Andrea Mazzarelli emphasized the importance of community connection, stating that the fan fest reflects the organization’s commitment to making hockey accessible and enjoyable for all.
