Victoria Arlen, Exeter Paralympic Champ, Honored by Boston Bruins [VIDEO]

Victoria Arlen, an Exeter High School student who won a gold medal in the 2012 London Paralympics, was invited by the Boston Bruins to drop the ceremonial puck at their home game Tuesday.

Watch the ceremony in the video above.

Arlen, 18, is a senior at Exeter High. She lost the use of her legs after being afflicted with the spinal cord disease transverse myelitis.

At the Paralympics, Arlen set a world record and won a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle event. She also earned three silver medals in other events.

Former Gov. John Lynch declared a "Victoria Arlen Day" in New Hampshire to recognize her accomplishments, and the swimmer was recently honored by U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH.
