Patrice Bergeron Parents
His father, Gerard Cleary, was a foreman for the city when Bergeron was growing up, working nights when needed to provide for the family — and pay for the pricey hockey gear and fees associated with the sport.
“He was ploughing the streets of the city or dealing with plumbing issues,” said Bergeron. “It was hard labour, obviously, and a lot of hours.
When he’d come back to the house, you could tell that he was tired, but he always found a way to drive us to different friends’ houses, or practices and games, and he was always there for us, making the time for it. It was always a special bond that way.”
