## Resource

The Boston Bruins are finally naming a captain before the season opener, ending a leadership void since Brad Marchand’s trade last March. After making the playoffs last year without a designated leader—thanks to strong collective guidance from David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy—the team now seeks an official “C” to carry the torch. Both stars are frontrunners, with McAvoy praising their seamless chemistry and Pastrnak’s veteran influence. GM Don Sweeney stressed the decision was deliberate, honoring the franchise’s legacy and clarifying past uncertainty wasn’t hesitation but timing. Regardless of who wears the “C,” the team vows to keep its collaborative spirit alive, echoing the leadership styles of legends like Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron.
