Celebrating 100 years: Bruins unveil special edition sweater
The Boston Bruins are celebrating their centennial game in style, unveiling special uniforms Thursday. The limited-edition sweater will be worn against the Montreal Canadiens on Dec. 1.
That date marks the 100th anniversary of the Bruins’ first game against the Montreal Maroons on Dec. 1, 1924.
The look combines multiple elements of the past with a vision for the future. An example is the anniversary crest, which fuses the vintage spokes worn by legends Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque with the varsity “B” the franchise has worn since 2007.

The jersey draws inspiration from the 1980s, a decade in which the Bruins had four 100-win seasons and embodies the franchises’ core values, according to a news release. The sleeves and socks are gold with a modern take on traditional striping, a nod to previous players who donned the Spoked-B.
A new centennial patch is featured with a nod to Dec. 1 and brings back the metallic gold as an accent around the Bruins bear.
“The Centennial Game will be a special moment for our organization and more importantly, our fans, so the jersey design had to be fit for the occasion,” Boston Bruins president Cam Neely said. “There are so many elements for both fans and the players to enjoy.”
An element that Neely highlighted appears on the bottom hemline. The team’s core values — tradition, grit, passion and heart — are embedded there, alongside the score of their first game displayed on the collar.

Other graduate programs in Sargent College, School of Law, and School of Public Health also score high in rankings
Boston University’s Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences retained its nation-topping ranking for occupational therapy instruction in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 evaluation of graduate school programs. It’s the fifth consecutive year that the program has claimed the first spot in the magazine’s rankings.
A half-dozen other BU programs cracked the top 10 in their respective disciplines:
- The School of Law’s health law program ranked second-best in the country.
- Sargent’s speech-language pathology program clocked in at sixth best.
- The School of Public Health had four programs in the top 10: epidemiology (seventh), biostatistics (eighth), public health (ninth), and social behavior (also ninth).
“Sargent has a long history of having top-ranked programs,” says Gloria Waters, BU provost, chief academic officer, and former dean of Sargent. “It is rewarding to see the occupational therapy program at the top of the rankings again. This recognition reflects the program’s faculty, support staff, and the college’s commitment to creating impactful educational experiences that translate into real-world outcomes.”
Of the high rankings for the other University programs, Waters says, “Faculty and staff are creating exceptional educational experiences across BU’s schools and colleges every day. Their efforts are not only reflected in national rankings like these, but in the quality of the students that go on to lead in their chosen fields.”
Faculty and staff are creating exceptional educational experiences across BU’s schools and colleges every day.
Depending on the discipline it is evaluating, U.S. News uses different assessment methodologies. For rankings of programs in sciences, social sciences, humanities, and health, the magazine relies on peer assessment surveys.
By contrast, for schools of business, education, engineering, law, medicine, and nursing, the rankings are based on two types of data, U.S. News says: “expert opinion about program excellence, and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s academic productivity and postgraduate outcomes.” Last fall and early this year, the magazine sent schools the statistical surveys and sent peer assessments to academics and professionals in the fields being evaluated.
The peer assessments asked deans, program directors, and senior faculty to rank the academic quality of programs in their disciplines, from 5 (outstanding) to 1 (marginal). U.S. News buttressed those evaluations with surveys of professionals hiring or working with recent graduates in certain fields.

Dry, breezy today, but a few snowflakes could mix with rain tomorrow in Boston
It’s been a dry, breezy start to the week here in the Boston area. As we continue moving through this afternoon, the sun will be in and out of the clouds, but it should remain dry through the evening.
Winds will gust up to 25-30 mph at times. Highs should reach the low 50s today. Tonight, low temperatures will be in the low to mid 30s.
As Tuesday rolls in, a weak disturbance will push into the area, giving way to a rain/snow mix. Yes, a little snow!
Areas along and north of the Massachusetts Turnpike will have the best chance of seeing a few passing snowflakes and flurries Tuesday morning. But a few flakes will drift south of the Pike from time to time as well. Some snow could also mix with rain later in the evening as the system wraps up and moves away from our region.
A light coating of snow is possible tomorrow, especially along and north of the Pike and across Worcester Hills and the higher terrain, mainly on grassy and elevated surfaces. But we don’t expect major problems as our temperatures climb from the 30s into the 40s and 50s by afternoon. In other words, the snow won’t stick around. Otherwise, we’ll see mostly cloudy skies Tuesday.
Wednesday will be the coolest day of the week. In fact, it will feel like winter all over again Wednesday morning! Temps will start the day in the mid to upper 20s. Highs will reach the upper 40s by afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Our high temperatures rebound into the 50s and 60s by Thursday and Friday with sunshine. A few showers are possible on Saturday.
