Bruins rookie Austin Czarnik’s hockey mom and dad were on hand to watch his NHL debut

Bruins fans may just be getting to know rookie Austin Czarnik, but at least two supporters at Thursday night’s game must be quite familiar with his play.

The 23-year-old third-line center’s parents were on hand for his NHL debut, a 6-3 Bruins win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Michigan native, who was with the Providence Bruins last season, was on the ice for 15 minutes.
