BOSTON — The Boston Bruins welcomed and honored an injured Milton Academy hockey player during Sunday night's game. Sunday night, the Bruins set Jake Thibeault, and his family up in box seats so they could watch the team beat the San Jose Sharks. After suffering from a spinal cord injury on the ice, the 18-year-old Fitchburg native and hockey enthusiast became paralyzed in early September. During Sunday night's game, both teams and the crowd at the TD Garden gave Thibeault a standing ovation. The Bruins beat the Sharks 4 to 3. Last month, Bruins player Matt Grzelcyk visited Thibeault in the hospital before attending a fundraiser for the teen. We're so happy to welcome Jake Thibeault and his family to this afternoon's game. The B's and the hockey community are with you. pic.twitter.com/O4gzwmAeJd— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) October 24, 2021 .@ThibeaultJake had the barn buzzing.#NHLBruins | @tdgarden pic.twitter.com/c4x6fw6msW— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) October 24, 2021 READ MORE Milton Academy Hockey Player Paralyzed After Serious InjuryBruins Player Supports Injured Milton Academy Hockey PlayerTwo Hockey Teams Come Together For Injured Teammates Like this article?
