The visit on May 22, included Bruins' mascot Blades, the Bruins Ice Girls, the 2011 Stanley Cup banner, and B's alumni Tommy Songin. The Bruins crew led the pep rally that included Bruins trivia and games, and played a video message of Bruins players Tyler Seguin, Milan Lucic, Dennis Seidenberg, and Aaron Johnson congratulating the school for their hard work. The Bruins staff also presented the Holy Name School with a team signed and framed jersey, as well as a PJ Drive championship banner that will hang in the school.
