Bruins Players Excited for Wildcats' State Title Win

The Wilmington High School boys hockey team has won two straight state championships, and the team they share Ristuccia Arena with has taken notice.

Several members of the Boston Bruins offered their messages of congratulations to the Wildcats following a recent session at their practice facility. 

Among them was head coach Claude Julien, who has said in the past he is a big fan of team manager RJ Townsend. During the season, Townsend helps out the Bruins at some of their Wilmington practices.

Julien joked that while he's happy for the Wildcats on their second straight state title, he's glad the season is over so Townsend can get back to his old look. For a second straight year, Wilmington players died their hair blonde during their playoff run.

"I'm happy they won it twice in a row," said Julien. "RJ works for us at times and he's a proud winner. Maybe now he can get a haircut and let his hair go back to the natural color."
