Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman recently shared a heartwarming moment involving his teammate Nick Foligno that nearly brought him to tears. After suffering a leg injury from a collision with Patrice Bergeron in early November, Swayman found himself on the injured reserve list.
In a press conference, Swayman expressed his admiration for Foligno and recounted the touching story. While on the train back to Boston from New York, Swayman received a text from Foligno asking for his address. To Swayman's surprise, Foligno's wife had prepared a generous package of homemade chicken soup, turkey meatballs, peppers, cookies, and more.
The thoughtful gesture left Swayman deeply moved, describing how it almost brought him to tears. It's these moments that showcase the character and leadership qualities of players like Foligno, who previously served as captain for the Columbus Blue Jackets before joining the Toronto Maple Leafs.
As the Bruins continue to shine on the ice, acts of kindness and camaraderie, such as this one from Foligno, further solidify their reputation not only as exceptional athletes but also as exemplary role models off the ice.
