BOSTON (WHDH) - The Boston Bruins were called into action this Halloween season!
Some members of the team got into the Halloween spirit during their annual trip to Mass General Hospital, this year dressed as superheroes, to spread smiles to kids there.
“It’s a fun tradition we have to come here and spend a little bit of an afternoon and try and spread some joy,” said Sean Kuraly, Bruins’ forward.
The off ice heroes, from Batman and Robin, the Incredible Hulk, even Captain America and Superman, all say it’s one of their favorite events of the year.
“This is really special,” Jeremy Swayman said, Bruins’ goaltender. “I mean, it’s obviously bonding for us but at the same time it’s just a way for us to give back to this community. The kids in here, they’re real heroes. Just being able to connect with them, see their passion for life and genuine happiness is something that we can all reflect on. Whatever small part we can do to make their day be brighter is a true privilege.”
Swayman, dressed as Batman, appeared to be having a great time with his sidekick.
“I got my Robin here too, we’re gonna have a really good time today,” he said of Fraser Minten, Bruins’ centre.
The players said they enjoy the lasting impact the event has on the children they’re able to reach.
“It’s one I circle on the calendar, and again, it’s just a humbling feeling to be able to come here and this incredible hospital, the staff are all world class humans,” said Swayman.
