BOSTON -The Boston Bruins will host Irish Heritage Night on Saturday, March 16 during the Bruins vs. Columbus Blue Jackets game at 7:00 p.m. at TD Garden. Irish heritage will be celebrated with several elements throughout the game. The Bruins will wear the official St. Patrick's Day green jersey with tartan and gold accents during warmups, and the first 5,000 fans to enter through turnstiles at TD Garden will receive a green Bruins hat presented by TD Bank.

The national anthem will be performed by Boston-based Irish musician Jinty McGrath. Hailing from Cork City, Ireland, McGrath is a highly sought-after soloist and guitarist who has opened for the Dropkick Murphys.
The Boston Police Gaelic Column of Pipes and Drums will be performing at turnstiles prior to the game as well as on the concourse during the intermissions.
Player-worn autographed St. Patrick's Day warmup jerseys will be auctioned and raffled off in game on March 16 and online at BruinsAuctions.org starting on Monday, March 18. Select jerseys will be available for fans to bid on at the Boston Bruins Foundation table located by Loge 4 on the TD Garden concourse. All proceeds will benefit the Boston Bruins Foundation. St. Patrick's Day signed mystery pucks will benefit the Irish Sports Youth League.
The 50/50 raffle will benefit the Claddagh Fund, the charitable foundation of the Dropkick Murphys. Founded by band front man Ken Casey in 2009, the Claddagh Fund honors the three attributes of the Claddagh Ring: friendship, love, and loyalty. Tickets are available to purchase online at BostonBruins.com/5050 and in game.
Bruins St. Patrick's Day gear is on sale now at the ProShop located on Level 2 at TD Garden. The official Bruins St. Patrick's Day jersey as well as pucks, caps, and t-shirts are available.
Fans in St. Patrick's Day gear will be randomly selected to participate in various contests and promotions throughout the night.
