It wasn’t so long ago — he retired in 2001 — Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche great Ray Bourque was one of the most skillful defenders in hockey.

Obviously packing a few extra pounds instead of a punch, the 48-year-old Bourque (right) is living at Ibis Golf and Country Club in West Palm Beach, in a $600,000 home adjacent to the golf course. Every fall, Bourque invites other NHL greats south for a few rounds, and this year, former Bruins goalie Reggie Lemelin’s showed up (left). Page2Live caught up with the retired pucksters last night at Dolce de Palma in West Palm Beach. With Bourque and Lemelin are owner Anthony de Palma (center left) and chef Rene Michelena.

    I play on the Bruins mens league team in Coral Springs. We are looking for a couple extra players. We could use another defenseman and goalie. I can save shirt #s 1 and 77 for you. Are you guys interested?

    If it doesn’t work out Ray…give me a ring.
