Marchand is the spiritual successor to Patrice Bergeron, who was the last Bruins player to wear the "C".
He has success in mind, but of course, he will need to consider his own health first. While he's begun to skate this week at Warrior Ice Arena, he hasn't been cleared to practice by doctors yet.
Marchand hopes to be cleared to return to play after training camp.
His off-season has been particularly brutal, undergoing three surgeries, including a sports hernia, groin surgery, and elbow.
So, needless to say, he is working towards a full recovery.
In 2023-2024, the Bruins Captain scored 67 points( 29 G, 38 A) in 82 games all the while playing through injuries.
This will be his 16th season wearing Black and Gold and made his NHL debut in 2009-2010.
