Remembering the Late Five Boston Bruins Legends: Dave Flebott, “Captain Cash,” PJ Stock, and More Cherished Stars

Dave Frobotte, a celebrated television writer and devoted Boston Bruins supporter, passed away on July 8th at 65 years old. A Boston native, Frobotte enjoyed a successful professional writing career, contributing to well-known shows such as The Sopranos, Will & Grace, Boardwalk Empire, and The Bernie Mac Show. Beyond his television work, he was a close friend to many and an ardent hockey fan, consistently supporting his cherished Bruins team. He proudly witnessed three Stanley Cup victories throughout his lifetime.

Frobotte took immense pride in writing for Hockey News. His comedic talent shone brightly in a 2009 exclusive column for the Hockey News’ book, Pack Fanny: Hockey Humor, Hijinks, which was well-received by both the publication and its readers. As a lifelong subscriber, Frobotte was truly dedicated to the sport and its community. His passing leaves a heartfelt void.

On behalf of Hockey News, sincere condolences are extended to Frobotte’s wife, Sandra, and their children, Zac and Emma.

In his column titled "Dinner is Bruined," Frobotte reflects on his love for the Boston Bruins, which began on May 10, 1970—the day the Bruins won their first Stanley Cup in nearly three decades. He recalls a memorable Mother’s Day, intertwined with family and Bruins history, including witnessing legendary moments like Bobby Orr’s iconic overtime goal. His affection for the Bruins grew alongside the team’s achievements, and he shared his personal favorite Bruins players and moments in his writing, highlighting unsung heroes and cherished memories.

Among his top Bruins favorites were lesser-known players like Bill Bennett, whose brief stint holding the cherished number after Esposito was symbolic; PJ Stock, celebrated for his fierce fighting spirit; Normand Leveille, whose career-ending injury was a tragic loss; and Wayne Cashman, a gritty competitor emblematic of 1970s Bruins toughness. At the top of his list was goaltender Ron Grahame, admired not just for his performances but for the wider impact his career moves had on the Bruins’ future successes.

His heartfelt storytelling reminds fans why the sport is more than just games—it’s about legacy, community, and unforgettable moments that connect generations.
