By Conor Ryan Hours ahead of puck drop for the Bruins Centennial Game against the Canadiens, Boston paid tribute to the legends and memories forged through 100 years of history with an impressive drone video.

The video titled Soaring Through History features drone cameras making their way throughout TD Garden, starting at the main entrance on Causeway Street and weaving through the Heritage Hall, executive suites and along the ice of Bostons longtime barn.

The Boston Globe s Jim McBride was on site for Saturdays final day of filming as several Bruins legends stood at their respective marks across TD Garden with McBride documenting the entire filming process.

Sundays video is far from Christensens first rodeo when it comes to sports-centric drone films.

He also collaborated with the Celtics during a drone video that covered Bostons banner-raising ceremony in October.

This is a first of its kind from a historical perspective, Christensen told McBride of Sundays video.

The video opens with Orr gazing at the bronze statue of himself affixed in front of TD Garden with Dan Kellys call of his Cup-clinching goal on Mothers Day 1970 echoing on the video.

As the drone moves through TD Garden, several other memorable radio and TV calls serve as the soundtrack for 100 years of Bruins history.

The drone enters TD Garden and moves through the teams Heritage Hall where Bucyk and ORee glance over the several artifacts that theyve submitted into hockey history.

As the video shifts to the ice, Terry OReilly with 2,095 penalty minutes on his ledger is featured in the sin bin.

I do have a gripe, OReilly joked in his conversation with McBride.

Orr was my teammate and he gets a statue out front, and I get the penalty box.

Do you think thats fair? Both Bourque and Esposito are seen admiring a photo from Dec.

3, 1987 when Bourque gave up his own No.

7 sweater so that Esposito could have it to himself during his jersey retirement ceremony.

Neely is spotted watching over the Garden ice from the teams executives suite, while the voices of Fred Cusick and Derek Sanderson punctuate footage over the Garden broadcast booths with Judd Sirott, Andy Brickley, Ryan Johnston, and Bob Beers featured as the current voices of the team.

Along with additional cameos from Rick Middleton and anthem singer Todd Angilly, the clip ends with current captain Brad Marchand skating on the Garden ice and finding twine with a pair of sharp slap shots as the jumbotron features Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara admiring the hardware they helped win with Bosotn in 2011.
