Going into this season, the Boston Bruins become the first team in the United States to celebrate 100 years in the National Hockey League.

The two teams in the NHL that are older than the Bruins, the Toronto Maple Leafs and arch-rival Montreal Canadiens, celebrated their centennial anniversaries in 2017, but now it is Boston’s time to shine and celebrate their anniversary.

They will have several promotions throughout the year to celebrate each era, each coming at different times throughout the year.

In two years, the rest of the “Original Six” will celebrate in two years when the New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, and Chicago Blackhawks will all hit the 100-year mark.

The Bruins have had many stars over the years, and many at each position, but here is who would make an All-Centennial team made up of 20 players. The team will consist of 12 forwards, six defenseman, and two goalies.
