Will Smith, a rookie forward for the San Jose Sharks, had a memorable NHL debut at TD Garden, scoring a goal and an assist against the Boston Bruins. Having roots in Massachusetts, Smith reflected on the support of family and friends in attendance. This game was particularly special, marking a return to a venue where he previously played during college hockey. Despite the Sharks losing 6-3, this game was significant for multiple local players, making it a nostalgic return to their home state for them.
"I wanted to be ready to go - I had a lot of people in the building. And this game’s for all them, too. So I wouldn’t have been here without them."
"Yeah, it was pretty amazing... I mean, I've come to plenty of games here, so it was a dream come true."
