"I love 'Happy Gilmore.' It's my favorite movie." The post Bruins’ 1st-round pick James Hagens enjoyed Adam Sandler’s draft announcement appeared first on Boston.com.

James Hagens was happy to hear his name called by the Boston Bruins in the first round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Friday night.

But it wasn’t NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, Bruins team president Cam Neely, or general manager Don Sweeney making the live-changing announcement. New Hampshire native and Bruins fan Adam Sandler appeared on the video board in Los Angeles, wearing a black No. 16 Bruins sweater.
