Tuukka Rask spent the summer of 2021 recovering from hip surgery in hopes of returning to play last season with the Boston Bruins. It didn't turn out the way he wanted as his return was short lived. He was forced to retire from the game, after at least trying his best to return.
Rask's former Bruins teammates, including Patrice Bergeron, Milan Lucic, Torey Krug, Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy traveled to Italy to attend the event.
