Hampus Lindholm was acquired by the Boston Bruins from the Anaheim Ducks at the NHL Trade Deadline on March 21st.
Being the new guy and having to meet and get to know all his Bruins teammates could be challenging, but he met Matt Grzelcyk's brother and father in a unique way.
Grzelcyk is a native of Charlestown, Massachusetts, and was drafted by his hometown Bruins in the third round (85th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Apparently, Matt isn't the only Grzelcyk that is employed by the Boston Bruins franchise.
Matt's father and older brother, both named John, work at TD Garden on the maintenance crew known as the "bull gang," responsible for scraping the ice during TV timeouts and converting the arena from hockey to basketball and back.
John Grzelcyk Sr. started working at Boston Garden in 1967 and has stayed with the organization ever since. John Jr. is also a Zamboni driver for specific Bruins games.
