It was just confirmed for Brad Marchand and it's big for the Boston Bruins

Brad Marchand in the off-season underwent three different surgeries, and no one found out about this until their first media scrum when Brad Marchand revealed it.

The three different surgeries he underwent were his groin to address a sports hernia, elbow to repair a torn tendon, and his abdominal area, also for a sports hernia. Brad Marchand stated that he torn a tendon in his arm last year and played through it.

Today some big news surfaced for Brad Marchand, and the Boston Bruins, as Marchand has been practicing with the injured group at skates, and wearing a red no-contact jersey.

Well today that changed when we finally saw Brad Marchand skating with the main group.

Brad Marchand was back in his regular spot for line rushes today along side Charlie Coyle, and Morgan Geekie.

In a interview after the skate, Brad Marchand stated that it feels good to be involved in a full practice, and he's hopeful to play in a few games before regular season begins.
