The team announced that longtime national anthem singer Rene Rancourt will retire at the end of the season.�

Rancourt has taken care of anthem duties for the Bruins for 42 years going back to 1975-76. While Rancourt can sing, he's most known for his signature fist pump which is inspired by former Bruin Randy Burridge.�

They'll be a special night on April 8th, the team's final home game, which the Bruins will honor the long time singer.�

He's also a trained opera singer who actually got his starts with anthems at Red Sox games.�
