The Boston Bruins paid tribute to a longtime fan by sending their anthem singer, Todd Angilly, to do a personal performance of the "Star-Spangled Banner" for his family.

Stephen Cipolla, a Bruins season ticket holder for 42 years, died on Jan. 12 from COVID-19 at the age of 60.
To honor him, Angilly sang the anthem for Cipolla's family, all clad in Bruins gear, in front of their home in Sommerville, Massachusetts.
The video of the performance that was played before the Bruins 5-4 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday included scenes from around Boston, in addition to the footage of Angilly singing his trademark booming anthem while Cipolla's family looked on from their front porch.
