Patrice
th captain of the Boston Bruins.
“To be Captain of an Original Six franchise is an honor, and a role that comes with much responsibility to his teammates and the fans,” said Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs. “There is no doubt in my mind that Patrice is the natural successor to the Captain role, and he will represent this franchise very well. He has consistently and reliably contributed to this team’s advancement and has been an adept leader for many years, both on and off the ice. His tenure as Captain will be one of great success.”
“Throughout Patrice Bergeron’s historic career with the Boston Bruins, he has carried himself with great integrity, humility and resiliency,” said Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs, “These qualities make Patrice a natural leader and an obvious choice as to who should serve as the next Captain of the Boston Bruins. We are incredibly proud to have Patrice fill this important role and look forward to watching him lead the locker room this
How it Happened
Too many turnovers cost Rhode Island, as the Rams fell at Richmond, 80-73 Wednesday night.
The Rams (5-6, 2-2 Atlantic 10) gave the ball away on nearly 27 percent of their possessions, committing 19 turnovers in 71 chances with the ball. The result was a 20-8 advantage in points off turnovers for the host Spiders (8-3, 2-1 A-10).
The miscues didn’t hurt Rhody early, as the Rams went into halftime down only 35-34.
Jeremy Sheppard hit a 3-pointer to give Rhode Island its first lead of the night on the opening possession of the second half. However, the Rams led for a total of just 43 seconds, as Richmond warmed up from the floor to help maintain a lead for most of the game.
Tyler Harmon (Vermont) – 33 saves
NOTES
-Both teams were scoreless in all three periods and through overtime. The Friars led in shots (33) over Vermont (23).
– The Friars played an impressive third period, outshooting the Catamounts by an 11-3 margin, but were unable to capitalize. – With the Friars down to their final shootout attempt, Greg Printz evened things up to extend the contest.
– Michael Callahan wired an attempt over the blocker of Harmon to put Providence in front and Bryce Misley’s attempt to tie things up went wide as the Friars claimed the extra point in the standings.
