Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs, City of Boston Parks and Recreation Commissioner Ryan Woods and Boston Bruins Foundation President Bob Sweeney will all be in attendance.
The event will begin with opening remarks from Bruins and City of Boston executives and will be followed by an opening puck drop and ribbon cutting ceremony. Following the ceremony, City of Boston representatives and Bruins alumni Andrew Raycroft will host a Willie O'Ree Street Hockey Clinic where kids can learn the fundamentals of hockey and participate in a scrimmage.
DeFilippo Park, located near TD Garden at 135 Prince St., has been updated to include an all-new street hockey court, basketball court and multi-sport play area, funded by the Boston Bruins Foundation, National Hockey League and City of Boston. The updates are part of an ongoing initiative to improve the quality and accessibility of hockey rinks around the city.
Previous parks that have been restored include those from Athol, Franklin, Hanover, East Boston and South Boston. In addition, the Boston Bruins Foundation has committed to updating a multi-purpose athletic field in Gloucester.
