Kids at Dorchester’s Leahy-Holloran Community Center had a brush with greatness on Tuesday, when Boston Bruins center Tyler Seguin made a surprise appearance. After being met with a round of applause and cheers, Seguin announced that each of the 20 youngsters and a parent would be attending the Bruins’ October 6 home opener.

The visit is part of Dunkin’ Donuts KidZone program, which awards non-profit child care centers with an opportunity to catch Boston hockey, baseball, basketball, and soccer games live from a special section.
After receiving autographed hockey pucks, the kids had a few minutes to ask Seguin questions like “is Chara really that tall?”
