BOSTON - Jeremy Swayman and David Pastrnak did not stay off the ice for long. Both headed to Tampere & Helsinki, Finland for the 2022 IIHF Men's World Championship which is taking place with Swayman a member of Team USA and Pastrnak Team Czechia.

BOSTON - Bruins president Cam Neely met with reporters on Thursday morning at Warrior Ice Arena to look back on the 2021-22 campaign. Here are some of the headlines from his end-of-season press conference:

BOSTON - Don Sweeney has been in Boston for nearly 40 years. The New Brunswick native made his way to the city in 1984 for his freshman year at Harvard and, with the exception of some brief stops in Maine and Dallas along the way, the 55-year-old has really never left.

Sweeney played 15 seasons with the Bruins and is one of just six players to suit up for over one thousand games with the club. He has spent the past 16 years in Boston's front office, including the last seven as general manager.

BOSTON - Bruce Cassidy has no concerns about the quality of Patrice Bergeron's play.

To Boston's bench boss, Bergeron - who was named a finalist for the Selke Trophy for the 11^th consecutive season on Tuesday morning - is still at the top of his game.

BOSTON - The National Hockey League announced today, May 17, that Boston Bruins Captain Patrice Bergeron has been named a finalist for the 2022 Frank J. Selke Trophy, given annually to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game as judged by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.  

BOSTON - David Pastrnak is headed to Finland to join Czechia at the 2022 IIHF World Championship. The winger has represented his country on numerous occasions over the last decade and was slated to be a member of Czechia's team at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing before the NHL pulled out of the Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BOSTON - Jeremy Swayman is not quite ready for summer.

The Bruins' rookie netminder is headed to Finland to join Team USA at the 2022 IIHF World Championship in Tampere and Helsinki. Swayman will replace the injured Alex Nedeljkovic (Detroit Red Wings) and join fellow U.S. backstops Jon Gillies (New Jersey Devils) and Strauss Mann (San Jose Sharks) ahead of the Americans' next game against Great Britain on Thursday. 

BOSTON - The Bruins gathered at Warrior Ice Arena on Monday to put a bow on the 2021-22 season with exit interviews with the coaching staff, medical team, team management, and the media before they begin to disperse across the globe to begin their summers.

Here are some of the headlines from the B's end-of-season media availabilities with reporters:

BOSTON - Right now, Patrice Bergeron needs a bit of time.

The Bruins captain will be an unrestricted free agent this summer as he wraps up an eight-year contract worth an average annual value of $6.875 million that was signed in July 2013. But just two days removed from a painful Game 7 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Bergeron has yet to make any decisions on his future.

BOSTON - Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, May 16, that the team has signed forward Johnny Beecher to a three-year entry-level contract with an annual NHL cap hit of $925,000.
