Three Bruins took part in what’s become an annual tradition on Thanksgiving morning on Thursday. Charlie McAvoy is in his fourth season leading the Bruins’ Thanksgiving pie donation and delivery effort. McAvoy, teammates Mason Lohrei and Johnny Beecher, McAvoy’s two sisters as well as Bruins staffers distributed 400 Wegmans pies to the New England Center and Home for Veterans, St.
Francis House, Pine Street Inn and The Home for Little Wanderers. They delivered the pies and also helped serve food at the Pine Street Inn. “I have the greatest job in the world,” McAvoy said.
“This tradition has become very special to me and my family. I have so much to be thankful for.” Grateful for the chance to give back 🥧 pic.

McAvoy, who held Chara in particularly high regard when they were teammates, took over for his former defensive partner in 2021 and has led the effort since. More Bruins content.
