BOSTON — The Boston Bruins new anthem singer, Todd Angilly, was introduced on Boston 25 Morning News Thursday.
He replaces Garden legend Rene Rancourt, who retired at the end of the 2017-2018 season.
Angilly will be tapped to perform at 80 percent of the Bruins regular season games.
Angilly is a Warwick, Rhode Island native who lives in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. He is a probation officer by day, and during the Bruins and Celtics seasons, he is a bartender at the SportsDeck, located on level 5 of TD Garden.
The 44-year-old is trained as an opera singer from his time at the New England Conservatory, and has performed for all five Boston professional sports teams.
Angilly got his first chance to perform the anthem at TD Garden on November 2, 2017, as the Bruins faced off against the Vegas Golden Knights.
He was a fill-in for unavailable performers in the past. Angilly was selected to be one of the rotating singers last season after auditions held in 2018.
In the playoffs last season, Angilly performed at each home game throughout the team's run to the Stanley Cup Final.
