Former Boston Bruins Captain Patrice Bergeron was inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame yesterday. It memorializes an iconic and historic international career.
Bergeron was born in L’Ancienne-Lorette, Quebec. During his time representing Team Canada, he took home six golds, including two at the Olympic Games. The 40-year-old is also a member of the Triple Gold Club, which is an Olympic Gold, a World Championship Gold, and a Stanley Cup.
Bergeron played his entire National Hockey League Career for the Boston Bruins. In his 19 seasons with the club, he became a Stanley Cup Champion in 2011, as well as winning six Frank J. Selke Trophies, awarded annually to the forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game.
Bergeron spoke about what the induction means to him, saying, “I owe this to a lot of people. Family and friends, but also coaches and teammates along the way.”
The IIHF inducted six players: Andres Ambühl, Patrice Bergeron, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Niklas Kronwall, Florence Schelling, and Thomas Vanek, as well as Ralph Krueger and Luc Tardif, during the ceremony on Sunday.
