37 FOREVER 🐻 @NHLBruins | #NEPats https://t.co/8wXz51eb7I

What happened: The New England Patriots posted "37 FOREVER" while tagging @NHLBruins and using #NEPats. The post follows the Bruins' announcement that No. 37 will be retired during the 2026-27 NHL season.

Why it matters: The message is a cross-sport Boston salute rather than Patriots roster news. It keeps the focus on a franchise honor while the NFL club remains in the offseason ahead of the 2026 season.

By the numbers: No. 37 is set to become the 14th retired number in Bruins history. Patrice Bergeron played 19 NHL seasons in Boston, totaling 1,040 regular-season points and winning the Selke Trophy six times.

What to watch: Watch for the Bruins to announce the ceremony date closer to the 2026-27 NHL season. For the Patriots, the next football focus remains training camp buildup.
