Matt Beleskey just signed a 5 year deal with the Bruins, and the first two years are with a NTC, so if you're looking to get in on the ground floor with his jersey...he's keeping 39. The Bruins announced it with this little video. From hockey-reference.com, here's the list of Bruins who've worn 39 before:
- Greg Johnston (1986-1990)
- Norm Foster (1991)
- Matt Glennon (1992)
- Lou Crawford (1992)
- John Blue (1993-1994)
- Scott Bailey (1996-1997)
- Joel Prpic (1998-2000)
- Zdenek Kutlak (2001-2003)
- Travis Green (2004-2006)
Nobody of particular import there. If Beleskey keeps with the Bruins through his contract, he could end up the longest-tenured 39 in Bruins history.
