Brad Marchand Shares his Perspective on Assuming the Role of Bruins' Captain
The Boston Bruins are on the hunt for a new captain as they gear up for the 2023-24 season. One standout candidate for the role is none other than Brad Marchand, a seasoned player who embodies the essence of leadership.
As he enters his remarkable 15th season, all with the Boston Bruins, Marchand stands just a few games away from hitting the 1,000-game milestone. Throughout his illustrious career, he's racked up impressive stats, boasting 372 goals, 490 assists, and 862 points in 947 games, along with a career +290 plus-minus rating.
Following the unveiling of the Bruins' 100th-anniversary jerseys for the upcoming 2023-24 season, Brad Marchand took some time for an interview with NESN's Conor Ryan. When asked about the prospect of becoming the team's captain, especially during such a special centennial season, Marchand responded in a characteristically humble and captain-worthy manner.
"It'd be cool. But it's not something I'm really focused on," Marchand remarked. "I don't need to wear a letter to be a leader. I know my place in this team. I know what I do here, and I know what my value is."
In these words, Marchand reflects the essence of leadership, emphasizing that true leadership transcends the letter on the jersey, and his contributions to the team speak for themselves.
