Bruins Honor Shooting Victims with Custom Jersey

In a moving tribute, the Bruins team hung a custom jersey by their bench, inscribed with "Brown Univ" and "401," the area code for Rhode Island, to honor those lost in a recent tragedy. This act of solidarity underscored the impact of the event, which is felt across the hockey community.

The tragedy particularly touched Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis. His son, Ryan, is a student at Brown University and a member of their hockey team. During a postgame press conference, St. Louis confirmed that his son was safely on campus and sheltering in place during the shooting.

St. Louis shared his personal connection to the event, stating, "It's a tragedy, it hit home." He extended his deepest sympathies and prayers to the students, their families, and the entire Brown University community, adding that such violence should never occur.
