Sarah Kostecki To Perform National Anthem At Bruins-Sabres Game

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins announced today that Boston, MA native Sarah Kostecki will perform the national anthem at the Boston Bruins home game against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, December 16.
Kostecki currently resides in Burlington, MA and is an Expressive Arts Therapist for Boston Children's Hospital, providing therapeutic arts and psychotherapy services incorporating drama, music, and studio art for youth with complex psychiatric and medical illnesses. She has been performing the National Anthem for Boston sports teams since the age of 16 when she sang for Boston College's Men's Varsity Hockey. She has since sung the National Anthem for the Cape Cod Baseball League, New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, and New England Revolution, as well as Liverpool Football Club vs. AS Roma at Fenway Park in 2013.

With the retirement of Garden legend, Rene Rancourt, at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, the Boston Bruins held live auditions on August 8 to find a rotating group of singers who would perform the anthem at home games during the 2018-19 season. Out of more than 600 applications, 52 finalists were chosen to partake in the live auditions. Kostecki is the seventh out of that group of finalists to be selected to perform this season, following Todd Angilly, Shanna Jackman, Dayna Fisk, Michelle Brooks-Thompson, Kara McEachern and Nick Page. Information on future new anthem performers will be announced prior to each Boston Bruins home game.
