When it comes to shopping for your hockey gear, sometimes we gain our guidance and inspiration by looking at what the pros are using. We had asked Hockey Pursuits for some ideas about what equipment is popular among pros, and they suggested we take a look at what the Bruins are using right now. Here’s what we found out.
