Congrats to former Halifax Mooseheads and TASA Ducks player from Hammonds Plains, NS, Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins who celebrated his 1000th NHL game last night in Beantown at the TD Gardens.

Brad’s parents Lynn and Kevin Marchand were in the stands to witness history, but, the Tampa Bay Lightning ended up spoiling his party last night beating Boson 3-2 in a shootout.
Hey Brad, maybe get a 1000 game tattoo like mine?
Welcome to the 1000 Game Club, Marchy!
