Charlie McAvoy speaks on his new leadership role
After suffering a season ending injury, Charlie McAvoy is back to full health and is ready to take on the new season.
He and David Pastrnak are both going to be the leaders on the team for the Bruins since Brad Marchand's departure from the organization.
«You don't want to change too much of who you are,» McAvoy said. «But that doesn't mean that we can't become better versions of ourselves, better hockey players, better people.» McAvoy said, via Matt Vautour of MassLive.
On Tuesday, the Bruins had an informal skate where roughly 25 players ended up attending.
Following the practice, McAvoy also had this to say:
«You don't want to change too much of who you are. All of us have been selected to be part of this leadership group because of who we are...but that doesn't mean we can't become better versions of ourselves, better hockey players, better people." --
