Enjoy Rene Rancourt’s fist-pumps while you still can — there might not be many more left.

The beloved Bruins anthem singer told VICE Sports that retirement has often been a topic of discussion in his life, either with himself or his wife, although he hasn’t shown any interest in determining an exact date.

“Maybe next year,’’ said Rancourt, who first sung for the Bruins in the 1975-76 season. He has never had a contract with the Bruins, but shows up to TD Garden and sings unless he’s told otherwise.

Rancourt, 76, developed his renowned fist-pumps from former Bruin Randy Burridge’s “Stump pump’’ celebration and has turned it into his signature move, but says that the best praise he can get is when somebody notices the clarity and power of his words.


“The best compliment you could pay me is ‘I really appreciate your diction and the way you get your words out in your performance,’’ he said. “If I try to focus on the words, it is bound to affect a more dramatic presentation. People respond to that.’’

Enjoy the show, because it might not be around for much longer.
