Racist Hotel Rejects Brad Marchand, The Next Day He Returns as the Owner

It all started when Marchand and his team arrived at a hotel for an away game in a city that had long been known for its hospitality. After a long flight, the team was looking forward to a quiet night before their big match the following day. However, when Brad approached the front desk to check in, things quickly went awry.

The receptionist, upon seeing Marchand and recognizing him as a hockey player, suddenly claimed that there was no room available for him, despite his reservation. When Brad asked about other accommodations, the staff seemed evasive, offering vague explanations. He watched, perplexed, as other guests were swiftly assigned rooms without issue, which made it clear that something was terribly wrong.

As Marchand pushed further, trying to understand why he had been denied, he heard an unsettling comment from the receptionist—one that made it clear that race and prejudice were at play. The front desk worker, who had initially greeted him with a forced smile, muttered something along the lines of, “We don’t have rooms for your kind,” referring to the fact that Marchand, who is of mixed heritage, wasn’t the typical guest they were accustomed to.

Shocked, hurt, and deeply disappointed, Brad tried to speak up but was met with resistance. The team’s coaches, along with other players, intervened, and they were quickly escorted to a different hotel. But for Marchand, this wasn’t just another moment of inconvenience—it was a wake-up call to the pervasive nature of racism and discrimination in spaces where people least expect it.

Rather than letting the situation define him, Marchand used the experience to fuel his determination to make a change. The next day, he returned to the hotel—not as an angry customer, but as the new owner.

Driven by his desire to not just be a victim of the situation but to take charge and drive meaningful change, Marchand used his wealth and resources from his successful career to purchase the hotel. The purchase was not just a business venture; it was a statement that racism would not be tolerated anywhere—not on the ice, and certainly not in public spaces meant to serve everyone.

Upon taking ownership, Marchand immediately set about implementing sweeping reforms. He restructured the hotel’s management, fired staff who were involved in the discriminatory incident, and instituted new diversity training programs for all employees. He brought in new leadership that reflected his commitment to inclusivity, with a focus on treating every guest with the utmost respect, regardless of race, gender, or background.

Marchand also announced that a portion of the hotel’s profits would be donated to local organizations that support racial justice and equity in sports and beyond. The hotel was rebranded with a new name—Fairstay Inn, to reflect the core values of fairness and hospitality.

“I believe in the power of sports to bring people together, and I know that we can do the same in the hospitality industry,” Marchand said in a public statement following his purchase. “Everyone deserves to feel welcome and respected, and that’s the kind of environment I want to create for all of our guests. Racism has no place in our society, and I’m committed to making sure it has no place here.”

Marchand’s mom imitates her son in funny video

Bruins captain’s mother nails impression for team social post

Brad Marchand must have got his chirping skills from his mother.

The Boston Bruins captain’s mom, Lynn, pretended to be her son in a video posted by the team on social media on Wednesday.

“Ah, good morning. It’s a great day to be me,” Marchand’s mother said while rocking her son’s jersey to start the video.

She then recruited a couple of the other Bruins moms to recreate their sons pregame tunnel routine. Lynn side bumped and high-fived a couple of the moms before falling into defenseman Brandon Carlo’s mother’s arms.

On the bench, the Bruins star’s mom banged her stick on the boards as she pretended to be angry at the refs.

In the next clip, Lynn was looking at pregame notes that read “People to piss off” in the middle of collage of TNT analyst Paul Bissonnette.

She then mimicked her son’s postgame interviews in front of his locker stall and told fake reporters the Bruins had the best-looking team in the NHL.

The video ended on a perfect note with Lynn checking herself out in the mirror and saying, “I’m beautiful.”

Marchand’s mom is in town for the Bruins Moms Trip. The mothers are joining their sons for the team’s two-game road trip to Florida this week.

After Lynn finished acting, she took on the team leader duties by lining all the mothers up for a group picture.
