The announcement came early this morning in a joint press conference with Bruins’ officials and Gretzky himself, as the hockey world collectively took in the significance of the moment.
Gretzky, widely considered the greatest player in NHL history, has long been involved in the sport’s business side, but this marks his first full ownership stake in an NHL team.

I’m committed to preserving its rich history while helping bring a new vision that can propel the team back to the top of the league.”
The purchase also signals a new direction for the Bruins, who have struggled in recent years to capture the elusive Stanley Cup. With Gretzky’s experience and passion for the game, the team’s fans are hopeful that the future holds bright prospects. Many expect the legendary forward to play an active role in both management and player development, fostering a competitive environment and nurturing future talent.
As the Gretzky era begins in Boston, the hockey world eagerly anticipates how the NHL’s newest ownership will reshape the landscape of the sport’s oldest franchise.
