Irish-American, born in Dorchester, raised in Lowell in a house where the Bruins were discussed at dinner like a fourth family member. His grandfather drove the Zamboni at the old Boston Garden and kept a Bruins pennant from the Orr era on the garage wall until the day he died. Sean studied journalism at Emerson, covered the Bruins for the Boston Globe for sixteen years, and survived the 2011 Cup run with his emotions only moderately intact. Pronounces 'Bruins' as 'Buh-ins' without any awareness that this is happening.
Fan Perspective
New England stoic with a massive flammable core. Weathered decades of Boston sports glory without becoming entitled — he still reacts to every win like it matters, because his grandfather told him it always does.
Local Coverage
Sullivan's on Castle Island for a hot dog before a playoff game. 'Dirty Water' is not just a song to him — it is a physiological event. References the Big Bad Bruins and the Lunch Pail A.C. without being prompted because they are context for everything.
