Patrice Bergeron-Cleary[1] (born July 24, 1985) is a Canadian former professionalice hockeycentre who played 19 seasons in theNational Hockey League, all with theBoston Bruins. He served asteam captain from2021 until his retirement in2023. Bergeron played junior hockey with theAcadie–Bathurst Titan of theQuebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) for one full season before being selected 45th overall by the Bruins in the2003 NHL Entry Draft. He made the immediate jump from junior to the NHL after his draft and joined the Bruins in the2003–04 season. In international play, Bergeron competed forCanada and won gold medals at the2004 World Championships,2005 World Junior Championships,2010 Winter Olympics,2012 Spengler Cup, and2014 Winter Olympics. Bergeron is a member of theTriple Gold Club after winning theStanley Cup with Boston in2011. He scored two goals, including the Stanley Cup-winning goal, in Game 7 against theVancouver Canucks.
Known for his two-way abilities, Bergeron is a six-time winner of theFrank J. Selke Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL forward with the best defensive skills, the most in NHL history. His 12 nominations are also an NHL record.[2] He is regarded as one of the premier two-way forwards in NHL history.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
Bergeron grew up in his hometown ofL'Ancienne-Lorette,Quebec, and was aQuebec Nordiques fan in his youth. Bergeron was mostly an A and AA player throughout his minor hockey days.[citation needed] He played in the 1998 and 1999Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with aminor ice hockey team fromSainte-Foy, Quebec City.[10] He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2001 QMJHL Draft out of AAA Bantam hockey with the Sainte-Foy Gouverneurs. The following year, he played A hockey for the Séminaire St-François Blizzard before reporting to theAcadie-Bathurst Titan of theQuebec Major Junior Hockey League.[citation needed]
Bergeron was drafted 45th overall in the2003 NHL Entry Draft by theBoston Bruins. During his rookie season, he was selected for theNHL YoungStars Game inMinnesota as part of the2004 All-Star weekend. He finished his rookie season with 39 points in 71 games.[11] His first NHL goal came versus theLos Angeles Kings on October 18, 2003, in a 4–3 Boston road victory. He would then score the overtime-winning goal in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals against the rival Montreal Canadiens on April 9, 2004.

Due to the2004–05 NHL lockout, Bergeron played for Boston's minor league affiliate, theProvidence Bruins of theAmerican Hockey League (AHL), tallying 61 points in 68 games.
As the NHL resumed thefollowing season, Bergeron led the Bruins with a career-high 31 goals and 73 points. He played the majority of the season with linematesBrad Boyes and newcomerMarco Sturm, who had been acquired in a trade that sent captainJoe Thornton to theSan Jose Sharks in November 2005. Then-Bruins general managerMike O'Connell recalled in a June 2011 interview that the organization had decided to build the team around Bergeron instead of Thornton, preferring the former's on- and off-ice character.[12]
Playing under a defensive system employed by new head coachDave Lewis,[13] he recorded his second consecutive 70-point campaign in2006–07 with 22 goals and 48 assists. He again played alongside Sturm and Boyes until the latter was traded late in the season. Bergeron was hampered the majority of the season by a nagging shoulder injury.[citation needed]
After recording three goals and four assists in the first ten games of the2007–08 season, Bergeron suffered a season-ending head injury during a game on October 27, 2007.Checked from behind byPhiladelphia Flyers defencemanRandy Jones, Bergeron hit his head on the end-boards, knocking him unconscious. He lay motionless on the ice for several minutes before being wheeled off on a stretcher and taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a broken nose and a grade-threeconcussion.[11] Jones received a two-game suspension from the NHL.[14] Bergeron made his first public statements regarding the injury on November 8, saying he would not take any legal action and that Jones had tried to contact him to apologize.[15] On January 19, 2008, theBoston Globe reported Bergeron had been sent on vacation by then Bruins general managerPeter Chiarelli and that he would likely sit out for the remainder of the season as his recovery had regressed.[16] In March 2008, Bergeron started preliminary on-ice practice with Bruins goaltenderManny Fernandez, who was himself recovering from knee surgery.[17] He steadily progressed into full-contact practices in early-April, aiming for a playoff return against theMontreal Canadiens in the opening round; however, he was held back by team doctors.[18] In June 2008, Bergeron was reported as being symptom-free during off-season training.[19] He participated in the Bruins' summer development camp (typically for Bruins prospects) with Fernandez,[20] before joining the Bruins' main training camp.[21]
He returned to action with the Bruins for the team's preseason opening game on September 22, 2008, against the Montreal Canadiens, an 8–3 victory played inHalifax, Nova Scotia.[22] After the2008–09 season began, on October 23, Bergeron scored his first goal since his concussion, in a 4–2 home loss to theToronto Maple Leafs.[23] Two months later, in a game against theCarolina Hurricanes on December 20, Bergeron collided with opposing defenceman (and future Bruin)Dennis Seidenberg, suffering another concussion. He lay face down on the ice while being attended to by team trainers and eventually left the ice under his own power. He was released from the hospital the day after the collision and placed oninjured reserve.[24] (Seidenberg and Bergeron later became teammates on the Bruins after a trade forByron Bitz to the Florida Panthers in 2010 to acquire Seidenberg.) Bergeron returned after being sidelined for one month and completed the season with 39 points in 64 games.[11] In the first round of the2009 playoffs, Bergeron recorded his first career fighting major in an altercation with Montreal'sJosh Gorges.[25]

In2009–10, Bergeron scored 52 points (19 goals, 33 assists) and played in 73 games. During the2010 playoffs, he scored four goals and added seven assists for 11 points in all 14 games as the Bruins upset theBuffalo Sabres in the first round before being defeated in seven games by the Philadelphia Flyers (despite initially having a 3–0 series lead at one point).
Halfway into the2010–11 season, Bergeron scored his first career NHLhat-trick in a Bruins 6–0 victory over theOttawa Senators on January 11, 2011.[26] Bergeron took a hit fromClaude Giroux on May 6, in Game 4 of the second round in the2011 playoffs against the Philadelphia Flyers, causing a mild concussion that kept Bergeron out of the first two games of the third round against theTampa Bay Lightning before eventually returning to the lineup in game three to help the Bruins eventually defeat the fifth-seeded Lightning in seven games. On June 1, during Game 1 on theStanley Cup Finals against thePresidents' Trophy-winning-Vancouver Canucks, Canucks' forwardAlexandre Burrows allegedly bit Bergeron's finger during a scrum. No penalty was called and the NHL did not fine or suspend Burrows because the alleged bite was not supported by any evidence except a video of Burrows biting Bergeron's glove while his hand was still inside it and bite marks on Bergeron's finger.[27] The Bruins lost Games 1, 2, and 5 away by one goal, but won Games 3, 4, and 6 at home in one sided fashions, tying the series at three games apiece. On June 15, Bergeron scored two goals in Game 7 of the series (including the game and series winner) against Canucks goaltenderRoberto Luongo in a 4–0 victory over a Canucks in the game and 4–3 victory in the series, as the Bruins captured their sixth Stanley Cup in franchise history and first since1972 and overcoming a 3–2 series deficit in the process. Bergeron also became the 26th member of theTriple Gold Club. He is engraved on the Stanley Cup using his birth name, Patrice Bergeron-Cleary.
After the close of the2012 playoffs, even with the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins eliminated in the first round in seven games by the seventh-seededWashington Capitals, Bergeron's constant defensive efforts on the ice earned him theFrank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward for the2011–12 season for the first time in his career.[28]
After finishing second in Selke Trophy voting for thelockout-shortened2012–13 season (only behindChicago Blackhawks forward and captainJonathan Toews), Bergeron turned in a heroic playoff performance in the2013 playoffs which included the tying- and game-winning goals against the fifth-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 of Round 1, and the overtime winner in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins. Earlier in the third round series against the Penguins in game one on June 1, 2013, he andEvgeni Malkin fought at centre ice, leading to Malkin knocking off Bergeron's helmet before they both threw off their gloves to fight. The two continued to throw blows even while referees attempted to separate them.[25] Bergeron also became renowned in the hockey world for displaying his toughness when, in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Chicago Blackhawks where the Bruins lost in six games, he played through a punctured lung, separated shoulder, a broken rib and a broken nose.[11]
The Bruins re-signed Bergeron to an eight-year, $52 million ($6.5 million per year) contract extension on July 12, 2013.[29] In the following2013–14 season, Bergeron reached the 30-goal mark for the second time in his career, achieving a total of 30 goals and 32 assists, and was a major factor as the Bruins won the Presidents' Trophy as the regular season champions. For his performance in the regular season, Bergeron was awarded his second career Frank J. Selke Trophy, as well as theNHL Foundation Player Award. He was named as the cover athlete for theNHL 15 video game in the same ceremony.[30]
Towards the end of the2014–15 season, on February 23, 2015, in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks, Bergeron scored his 200th career goal on Hawks' goaltenderCorey Crawford as the Bruins would clinch a 6–2 victory in the game.[31] Bergeron, who has played his entire NHL career as a member of the Bruins since they drafted him in 2003 in the second round, became the 17th player in franchise history to score 200 or more career goals for the club.[32] Despite the Bruins missing the2015 playoffs by just two points in the league standings, Bergeron was awarded the Selke Trophy for the second straight season and third time altogether after being named a finalist for the fourth consecutive season and time in his career.[33]
Despite the Bruins narrowly missing theplayoffs again by having missed by just three points, Bergeron was named a finalist for the Selke Trophy for the fifth consecutive year after recording 32 goals, 36 assists and 68 points although the Selke Trophy would get awardedLos Angeles Kings forwardAnže Kopitar.[34]
Bergeron's play during the2016–17 season was hampered by asports hernia that occurred at some time early in the season, but which was only revealed on April 25, 2017, after the Bruins were defeated in the first round of the2017 playoffs in six games by the Ottawa Senators.[35] Bergeron's sports hernia was operated on May 8, and he was expected to be ready for the Bruins' training camp before the2017–18 season began.[36] Bergeron played 79 games with 21 goals, 32 assists and 53 points in the season with first line of him,Brad Marchand andDavid Pastrňák labeled as "The Perfection Line" by the media.[37] Bergeron was awarded his fourth career Selke Trophy after being named a finalist for the sixth consecutive season and sixth time in his career altogether.[38]
Near the halfway point of the 2017–18 season, on January 6, 2018, in a 7–1 home win for the Bruins over theCarolina Hurricanes, Bergeron scored four goals, including Bergeron's first-ever NHLnatural hat trick, bringing his scoring-point total (goals/assists combined) to 702 in his NHL career.[39][40] Five games later, on January 18, Bergeron recorded the third hat-trick of his career (and second of the season) in a 5–2 win over theNew York Islanders.[41] After blocking an opposition shot with his right foot on February 24 against the hosting Toronto Maple Leafs, Bergeron discovered two days later he had broken a bone in his foot and would remain out of action for two weeks pending further evaluation of his foot fracture.[42] By March 19, Bergeron had been able to start practicing his skating with the team.[43] Bergeron was cleared to play in the Bruins road game against theMinnesota Wild on March 25, recording assists on each of the goals scored in the Bruins' 2–1 overtime win.[44] Bergeron ended the season with 30 goals, 33 assists for 63 points in 64 games played and was named a finalist for the Selke Trophy for the seventh consecutive time in his career and seventh time altogether, which eventually went to Anže Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings.
The2018–19 season for the Bruins saw Bergeron achieve some impressive milestones in his NHL career: on December 22, 2018, Bergeron scored his 300th goal in a 5–2 win over theNashville Predators on Predators goaltenderPekka Rinne.[45] On February 5, 2019, Bergeron played in his 1,000th NHL game, all with the Bruins, scoring two goals in a 3–1 home ice win against the visiting New York Islanders[46] By the late-season games of the 2018–19 season, Bergeron was set to break the 800-point milestone in his NHL career, which was achieved on March 16, with a goal that tied the game in the first period, leading to a 2–1 home-ice overtime Bruins win over the visitingColumbus Blue Jackets.[47] On April 17, Bergeron was nominated for the Selke Trophy for an NHL-record eighth straight season which was eventually given toRyan O'Reilly of theSt. Louis Blues.[48] Bergeron and the Bruins would eventually go on to the2019 Stanley Cup Finals in which the Bruins lost in seven games to the St. Louis Blues, one win short from winning a second Stanley Cup.[49]
On July 20, 2020, Bergeron was named a Selke finalist for a 9th consecutive season after helping the Bruins clinch the Presidents' Trophy as the best regular season team but the trophy ultimately went toSean Couturier of the Philadelphia Flyers.[50]
On January 7, 2021, Bergeron was named thecaptain of the Boston Bruins.Zdeno Chára, who had been the team's captain since 2006–07, signed with theWashington Capitals two weeks earlier in December 2020.[51]At the end of thepandemic-shortened2020–21 season, Bergeron ranked fourth on the Boston Bruins all-time scoring list with 917 total points (375 goals and 542 assists). At the time, he trailed only Ray Bourque, Johnny Bucyk and Phil Esposito. Just days before the June 9 elimination of the Bruins from the2021 playoffs by theNew York Islanders in six games in the second round, Bergeron was nominated as a candidate for theFrank J. Selke Trophy for the tenth straight season but the trophy was eventually given toFlorida Panthers forward and captainAleksander Barkov[52] - However, Bergeron would instead win theMark Messier Leadership Award for the 2020–21 season; for strong team leadership, and contributions to the general society.[53]
It was not until the eighth game of the2021–22 season on November 4, 2021, that Bergeron would register his first Bruins goal of the season. On that day, in ahome game against the visitingDetroit Red Wings, Patrice scored only his second natural hat trick - and seventh hat trick overall - of his NHL career, as the foundation for a four-goal game by the Bruins team captain in a 5–1 defeat of the Red Wings.[54] On April 28, 2022, against theBuffalo Sabres, Bergeron scored a hat trick for his 400th career goal. He became the fourth Bruins player ever to score 400 goals for one team, joiningJohnny Bucyk (545),Phil Esposito (459), andRick Middleton (402).[55] The Bruins were eliminated in the first round of the2022 playoffs by theCarolina Hurricanes. With the season marking the end of Bergeron's contract, and in light of his age and history of injuries, there was considerable uncertainty as to whether he would continue with the team. He ruled out playing for any other team, saying he would either re-sign or retire.[56] Bergeron was once again nominated for the Selke Trophy for the eleventh time, and it was announced on June 5, that he had won the award for the record-setting fifth time.[57]
On August 8, 2022, Bergeron signed a one-year contract to return to the Bruins for his nineteenth season.[58] Bergeron scored his 1,000th point in his NHL career on November 21, with an assist on a goal by longtime linemateBrad Marchand, in a 5–3 win over theTampa Bay Lightning.[59] In 2023, Bergeron beat his own record with a sixth Selke trophy win after being named a top three finalist for the twelfth time in his career and twelfth consecutive season. Bergeron helped the Bruins win thePresidents' Trophy as the best regular season team for2022–23 before being defeated in 7 games in the first round of the2023 playoffs by the eighth-seeded Florida Panthers after initially leading the series 3–1.
Bergeron announced his retirement from hockey on July 25, 2023, a day after his 38th birthday, having played nineteen seasons in the NHL.[60]
Following his rookie season in the NHL, Bergeron was selected to play forCanada at the2004 World Championships inPrague.[11] He scored one goal in his international debut and won his first gold medal with Canada.
The following year, Bergeron was chosen to theCanadian national junior team for the2005 World Junior Championships inNorth Dakota. He was lent to the team from the Providence Bruins of the AHL, where he was playing due to the NHL lockout. Bergeron was eligible for the World Juniors the previous year as well but was not lent to the national team because he was playing in the NHL. He finished the tournament with 5 goals and 8 assists totalling 13 points over 6 games while playing on a line withSidney Crosby andCorey Perry. He scored a goal in Canada's 6–1 gold medal victory overRussia. He finished the tournament as the leading scorer to earn MVP and All-Star team honours. By helping Canada win gold at the tournament, he became the first player to win a men's gold medal before winning at the junior level.
Bergeron made his second appearance at theWorld Championships in 2006 and was reunited on a line with World Junior teammate Sidney Crosby, to whom he finished second in tournament scoring with 14 points. Bergeron was once again invited to play for Canada in the2007 World Championships. He declined, citing he wanted to recover from injuries suffered during the NHL season.
On December 30, 2009, Bergeron was selected to play for Canada for the2010 Winter Olympics inVancouver; he was the only player selected who did not receive an invitation to the selection camp earlier in the summer. Many commentators predicted Bergeron would play on a line with Crosby due to his previous experience with him at the World Juniors and World Championships, but he ended up as the 13th forward due to a groin injury incurred in Canada's first game. He played primarily on the penalty kill and in defensive-zone faceoffs.[61]
During the2012–13 NHL lockout, Bergeron played forLugano and competed for Canada at the 2012Spengler Cup, along with teammate at the time,Tyler Seguin. Canada took gold in the event, and Bergeron scored the first goal in the first minute of a 7–2 Canada rout overDavos, and added three assists.[62]
Bergeron won his second gold medal with Canada at the2014 Winter Olympics and was a member of Canada's championship team at the2016 World Cup of Hockey, reunited on both occasions on a line with Sidney Crosby.[11]
Bergeron is the son of Gerard Cleary, a city foreman, and Sylvie Bergeron, a social worker.[63] Bergeron is of both French-Canadian and Irish descent, by way of his father. Although his legal surname is Bergeron-Cleary, it was truncated to Bergeron for simplicity.[1]
Bergeron and his wife Stephanie Bertrand have four children together: Zach, Victoria, Noah, and Felix.[64] He enjoys playing guitar in his free time.[65]
In honor of him scoring his 1000th point, at the time Massachusetts GovernorCharlie Baker presented Bergeron with an official proclamation declaring December 17, 2022 was “Patrice Bergeron Day” in Massachusetts.[66]

Boston fed off that emotion early in the first period, with Bergeron potting his 27th of the season off a feed from Marchand on the power play to open the scoring at 5:51 and end the team's stretch of sleepy starts. Bergeron's goal was the 800th point of his career, while Marchand's helper was his 86th point of the season, a career-high.
Of the five other expansion teams in their division, the Blues are the only team still in existence that had not won a Cup. The only other team that did not was theOakland Seals.

Bergeron erupted for a franchise record-tying four goals - his first four of the season - including three on the power play from his familiar office in the slot to pace the Bruins to a convincing 5-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at TD Garden...Everything that Bergeron did on Thursday night was impressive. The 36-year-old registered his seventh career hat trick (six of which have come since 2018) in the second period before capping off his second career four-goal game (his first came on January 6, 2018, against Carolina) with a nifty tally off the rush late in the third period. Per NHL Stats, Bergeron is the fifth player in Bruins history to record a hat trick at 36 or older, joining Johnny Bucyk (six), Jean Ratelle, Dit Clapper, and Dave Andreychuk and the 12th oldest in league history to score four goals. It was his second career natural hat trick (three straight goals).
