As @NESN prepares to debut “Connection: A Century of Bruins Hockey” on Wednesday night, I was asked to share my story as a lifelong fan. This column is just a snippet into why “I bleed Black and Gold” #NHLBruins I hope you enjoy it!

How Rooting For Bruins Changed My Blood Type To Black & Gold

Being a Boston Bruins fan to me is not just about rooting for the team, it's about the history of the franchise, its players and the sport.
