With Brad Marchand's Stanley Cup Parade scheduled in Halifax for Monday August 29, local rock station Q104 had a contest to find the "Ultimate Bruins Fan". Winner gets VIP access to the parade, a signed Stanley Cup Champions hat and jersey presented by Marchand and tickets to the Boston vs Montreal exhibition game on September 25.

With all the Bruins fans on site for the radio contest, they interviewed everyone before choosing the winner.

This 12-year-old kid had a local university team jersey of the Dalhousie Tigers around his shoulders because he didn't own a Bruins jersey.



This guy (pictured below) got off work at 2AM in Fredericton and drove to Halifax (~4 hours) for the contest, bringing a tonne of his personal Bruins merchandise collection with him.




When he heard the kid tell his story, he reached into his bag and gave the kid a jersey.



Just another great example of why hockey has the greatest fans going. As much as I wanted to win the competition, I think this classy move should have locked it up for this guy. A true fan in every sense of the word and spread his love for the game and his team to a young man that he didn't even know.

I guess you missed then.

I didn't find out about this Fan contest until the day before or else I would have gotten my Bruins tattoo a little quicker. For now I will wait because I have other work that needs to be finished like my leg sleeve. I will be getting a Bruins symbol on me at some point though.

PS - If the Bruins suck, what does that say about the other 29 teams who didn't win the Stanley cup?

Great people here for sure man.

Well, the contest asked people to get all done up in whatever they could. Here's a few more pics from the event.





Yes that last guy shaved a B into his chest hair.
