Warwick Native Todd Angilly To Sing National Anthems At B's Home Opener

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins announced today that Todd Angilly will perform the U.S. and Canadian national anthems at the Boston Bruins home opener against the Ottawa Senators on Monday, October 8.
Angilly is a Warwick, Rhode Island native who currently resides in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. He is a probation officer by day, and during the Bruins and Celtics seasons, he is a bartender at the SportsDeck, located on level 5 of TD Garden. The 43-year-old is trained as an opera singer from his time at the New England Conservatory, and has performed for all five Boston professional sports teams.

Angilly got his first chance to perform the anthem at TD Garden on November 2, 2017, as the Bruins faced off against the Vegas Golden Knights. While working as a bartender at the SportsDeck, Angilly was asked to fill in for the previously scheduled anthem singer that evening who was unable to make it into TD Garden.
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. Angilly is the first out of that group of finalists to be selected to perform this season. Information on future new anthem performers will be announced prior to each Boston Bruins home game.
