Bruins ready to hit the ice for training camp

After a day of off-ice testing, the Bruins are ready to hit the ice at TD Garden tomorrow morning for the official start of training camp. The on-ice sessions are free and open to the public and get underway at 10:00 am.

I'm heading up north for a golf weekend with a bunch of scallywags and ne'er-do-wells, but I am sending Alternate Captain Tim Morrison on assignment to The Garden for Saturday's practices. If you are going, look for the dude in the "Habs Suck" t-shirt with the sinister goatee and notepad.
