Former Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron receives heartwarming standing ovation at charity game
The 13th annual Pro-Am Gagne-Bergeron was held in Quebec City on Thursday night and was loaded with NHLers. According to the event's website, co-chairman and recent NHL retiree Patrice Bergeron, Jonathan Huberdeau (CGY), Jonathan Marchessault (VGK), Alexis Lafreniere (NYR), Yanni Gourde (SEA), Brad Marchand (BOS), had all participated, among many others.
Bergeron, the former Bruins captain and a Quebec native, received a heartwarming standing ovation, which lasted over two minutes, from the crowd at Videotron Centre in Quebec City.
Bergeron played all 19 of his NHL seasons in Boston, capturing six Selke Trophies and winning a Stanley Cup, the only one of his career, with the Bruins back in 2011. While Bergeron isn't eligible to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame until 2026, you'd have to imagine he'll be a first-ballot inductee. Not only was he revered as one of the absolute best 200-foot players in the history of the game, he's also well-respected by players and fans alike.
