“Finding innovative ways to grow the game of hockey is always a priority of the Bruins organization,” said Neely. “The synergy between the Bruins and O.R.G. Packaging will positively impact the growth of the game in the local Chinese community while showcasing the passion for hockey that exists in Asia.”
"O.R.G. Packaging is very excited about becoming the first ever Chinese partner of the Boston Bruins and the NHL,” said O.R.G. Packaging Chairman Zhou Yunjie. “We will serve as a bridge between China and the US, to better promote cultural and sports exchanges through ice hockey.”
Ocean 24 SE’s client O.R.G. Packaging will work with the Bruins in numerous ways to help grow the sport of hockey in China as well as educate North American residents about the growth of hockey in China. This summer, the Bruins and O.R.G.

As part of the partnership the Bruins hosted a 10 day official clinic with 22 Chinese youth hockey players sent by O.R.G. and Ocean 24 SE from China. Over the 10 days the youth hockey players have participated in clinics with the Bruins Youth Hockey Development team and Bruins Alumni Andrew Raycroft and Rick Middleton.
