Despite putting in an incredible career with the Boston Bruins, he may not be done after all, as the latest episode of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast revealed a surprise rumour.
As always, take this rumour with a grain of salt, but with the Bruins lacking major star power up front and Bergeron reportedly keeping in shape on the ice, it's definitely a possibility.
Outside of this, there's not many reports to go on, but after putting up 58 points in 73 games a season ago, it's clear that the 38-year old still has some gas left in the tank.
It's unlikely that a return to the top level ever happens for Bergeron on the ice, but he reportedly has some interest as a coach and given the knowledge he acquired over 20-years in the NHL, that could be a viable career path from her on out.
For now though, we will hold out hope that the Bruins legend can make a return, as the team look just as good without him, so if they could add him to this lineup, who knows what could happen come playoff time.
