*Wayne Gretzky was in the new building in Edmonton to watch it get christened and then joined the Oilers in a triumphant return to the NHL as part of the management group.
*Congrats to Burlington, Mass., product Bobby Jay for getting inducted into the Burlington Athletic Hall of Fame this week.
*Gare Joyce has seven players that are poised to break out for the coming season, and there are no Bruins on the list. Seems like an oversight to me.

*Yes, a crazy fan did indeed climb over the glass and run all over the ice during a junior hockey game this week.
*Here are five teams with a Stanley Cup window that’s closing on them as we enter the 2016-17 NHL season.
Boston Bruins
