NHL and Boston Red Sox Support New Field House in Boston
On December 31, 2022, New England Council members the National Hockey League and the Boston Red Sox partnered with the Boston Bruins to donate $300,000 to the Martin Richard Dorchester Fieldhouse project, a new state-of-the-art facility for the Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester (BGCD).
The donation is part of the NHL’s “Legacy Projects” program, a long-term philanthropic endeavor in which the League and its Clubs support community organizations in the host city of an NHL event, such as the 2023 Winter Classic that was held at Fenway Park this year.
Jeff Scott, vice president of community development for the NHL, said, “The 2023 project will leave a legacy of growing the game for underrepresented people in the hockey world like young girls, people in the BIPOC communities, and with those in the disabled community.”
Last year, Boston City officials approved the Dorchester Field House project which will be an indoor, fully accessible facility that will serve more than 50,000 young people who live in the Boston area.
