"I think everybody, every kid, should have gifts and should be happy this time of year. So that we can do something to give it back to some kids, I think it's very special."
"Obviously it's for a good cause. There's a lot of sick kids who're going to spend their holidays [here], we just want to make it a happy day for them and bring some presents."
"I think not only for the patients and the families, but also for the staff as well. I can only imagine being in the hospital is just a very difficult experience ... I think that when you have such a difficult day, having an opportunity to really have your day brightened by something so special is just amazing."
Boston Bruins players traded equipment for holiday attire to deliver gifts across several local hospitals, including Boston Children’s Hospital, Franciscan Children’s, Mass General Brigham for Children, Shriners Children’s and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. Players aimed to bring joy to children who will spend the holidays in medical care and to give back to the community. Team members emphasized the long-standing tradition and its importance for patients, families, and hospital staff. Hospital coordinators described the visits as uplifting for patients and families and noted the positive impact on staff witnessing children’s days brightened by the players’ presence and gifts.
