Watch: 9-year-old Marshfield boy’s emotional Bruins puck drop
Tommy Scardina was recently diagnosed with NUT Midline Carcinoma
In June, 9-year-old Tommy Scardina of Marshfield received a diagnosis of NUT Midline Carcinoma, a rare form of cancer. Joined by his father before Tuesday night’s Bruins-Wild game, Scardina received an ovation from the crowd — and players from both teams — before dropping the puck at TD Garden.
