Haverhill native Jordan Harris is on the rise again—this time coming close to home after reportedly signing a one-year, $825,000 deal with the Boston Bruins.
Harris, who turns 25 next Monday, played the 2024-25 season with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Two years ago, as reported by WHAV, Harris appeared before Haverhill city councilors when he was introduced by youth hockey coach Stephen J. Costa.
“You know, I grew up in Haverhill and hockey was a thing that we always did in my family and I’m very happy to have my Dad here tonight. Growing up, I dreamed just to follow in his footsteps and thankfully, things have worked out along the way and hopefully, they continue to,” Harris said.
It seems prescient now, but City Councilor Thomas J. Sullivan asked Harris about coming home.
“Thank you Jordan for coming, and thank you for bringing such a shine to Haverhill in the hockey field. What’s it going take to get you to transfer to the Bruins?” Sullivan asked.
Harris sidestepped the question.
