May 31st marks a peculiar coincidence in the hockey world as several former Boston Bruins players share the same birthday.
Bill Bennett, Jim Carey, Gordie Clark, Jim Craig, Doug Doull, Marquis Mathieu, Jeff Odgers, Petr Tenkrat, and the legendary Tiny Thompson all celebrate their special day today.
While each player made their mark on the ice in their own unique way, it's Tiny Thompson who stands out as a true Bruins icon.
Having donned the Bruins jersey dating back to 1937, Thompson's legacy with the team dates back to the early 1900s, earning him a special place in the hearts of Bruins fans everywhere. Happy birthday to these hockey greats!
