The Bruins were reeling after team chef Keith Garman died unexpectedly Tuesday. He was 33.
“Yesterday was a horrible, horrible day for all of us,” Bergeron said Wednesday morning. “Chef Keith was a big part of our team and family and organization. Everyone who is with the organization had to go through his kitchen every day for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner sometimes.
“We’re all shook and shocked and saddened by it.”
According to a LinkedIn page, Garman joined the Bruins in August 2018. He spent the previous four years as a chef at Alden & Harlow in Cambridge. Garman, who grew up in Pennsylvania, earned a culinary degree from Johnson & Wales in 2009.
Bergeron offered the team’s condolences to Garman’s family, friends, girlfriend, and parents.
“He was there at the crack of dawn to cook us the best meals, and always had a smile on his face,” Bergeron said. “In the house, you’re always drawn to the kitchen, right? It was the same thing with him in his kitchen. Everyone had to go through him and talk to him. Especially in a tough, stressful hockey season, he always had the right words to calm us down and to cook us a good meal. Very sad day.”
