In midst of their season-long five-game road trip, the

Boston Bruins

made a pitstop Monday in Newtown, Conn., to help conduct a variety of events to support the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December.

Forwards Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley, Chris Bourque, Daniel Paille and defensemen Dougie Hamilton, Andrew Ference, and Adam McQuaid along with coach Claude Julien arrived in the early evening of the all-day event to sign autographs and pose for pictures along with spending time with the families in attendance.

The Stanley Cup also made an appearance.

During the afternoon, Bruins alumni Bob Sweeney and Tommy Songin conducted street hockey clinics while the Bruins Youth Hockey Development team hosted an hour long clinic with Newtown High School’s varsity hockey team.

The Newtown team presented the Bruins with their blue, yellow and white home and away jerseys as gifts. A photo of the players and Julien wearing the jerseys and holding a sign reading "We Are Sandy Hook We Choose Love" was posted on the team's official Instagram page.

Bruins staff gave out framed team-autographed jerseys to Newtown first responders and all 1,300 attendees received T-shirts bearing a Bruins logo and the Sandy Hook green ribbon, donated by Delaware North Companies.

In addition to the event, the Bruins will honor Sandy Hook Elementary School vice principal Natalie Green Hammond on Sunday, March 3 as they host the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden. Green Hammond, who is a lifelong Bruins fan, will drop the ceremonial first puck.
