#BruinsGlobal: Arriving in Shanghai

SHANGHAI - With the Beijing portion of "Bruins Global: China 2017" completed, Torey Krug, David Pastrnak, Tuukka Rask, Bruins alum Hal Gill, and the rest of the Bruins' crew in China flew to Shanghai on Sunday for the final four days of their 10-day trip.

Upon arrival, they visited the second tallest building in Shanghai in Pudong (New Shanghai) called the Shanghai World Financial Center, which has 101 floors and stands at 492 meters (1,614 feet). From the outside, it looks like a bottle opener. Inside, there is an observation deck with glass floors that the players had the chance to visit.
Shanghai is also home to the second tallest building in the world, Shanghai Tower, which is 632 meters (2,073 feet). The skyline consists of several buildings, including the noticeable Oriental Pearl Tower, built in 1994 as the first building of the skyline. Before 1994, the area was all farmland, and the majority of the buildings were not built until the 2000s.
The #BruinsGlobal crew took in the view of Shanghai before beginning the second round of clinics on Monday.

This marks the Bruins' second official visit to China to help grow the sport of hockey in China, strengthen the connection between the Bruins and the local Chinese community in New England, and educate others about the growth of hockey in China.
In 2015, the Bruins entered into a partnership with the Chinese packaging company, O.R.G. Packaging, which hosts the organization in China. Throughout the past two years, the B's have made two visits to China to teach on-ice clinics and off-ice training to hundreds of kids. In addition, Chinese youth hockey players have also visited Boston during the season to participate in clinics, explore the city of Boston, and watch Bruins' home games.
The Bruins' 2016 trip to China was featured in the Bruins television show, Behind the B, which airs locally on NESN. The episode, which chronicled the organization's trip, won the 2017 New England Emmy Award for Best Sports Series. The episode can be watched by clicking here.
