After Brad Marchand disclosed he was dealing with injuries last season, he elected to get 3 surgeries this offseason to fix the nagging issues. Now the Boston Bruins captain is back training with team.

It was a bit of a worry for Bruins fans that Brad Marchand would not be available for the opening night roster on October 8th when they face-ff against the reining Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.

Brad Marchand was cleared and has returned fully to Boston Bruins training camp as he participated in his first full practice on Wednesday, which marks a critical progression forward to being ready for the regular season.

After the practice, he spoke to NHL reporter Eric Rosen where he spoke about how relieved he was to be back in full swing after the discomfort and injuries he dealt with all last season.

«It feels good to be out there without a noncontact jersey and be part of full practice,» Marchand said. "Hopefully as things progress here, get into a couple games by the end of camp and be ready for the season.»


«Getting that back is a little bit off right now but every day I feel conditioning is catching up and is there," Marchand said. "I don't feel out of place in that. Something I can still continue to work on but I'm happy with where I'm at."


Even with feeling good and not worrying about his body physically, he is still struggling with dictating and getting used to the fast pace of the game.

«The fitness level feels fine," Marchand said. "It's more the pace of bodies coming at you and timing, making plays under pressure."


Even with 3 nagging injuries, his production was failt solid, but not was fans are used to seeing, but it all makes sense why he dropped off from the 2022-2023 season. He scored 29 goals and 38 assists for 67 points, and even with his issues, he did not miss a single regular season game.
