Glen Thornborough, president of TD Garden and executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Boston Bruins, was named to Boston Magazine’s list of the “150 Most Influential Bostonians” for 2026.
The list includes notable leaders from various industries – including technology, government, finance, healthcare, education, sports and entertainment – who play an important role in shaping the future of Boston.
Boston Magazine highlighted Thornborough and his role in company-owned TD Garden driving $365 million in direct economic impact to Greater Boston since opening:
Thornborough has turned TD Garden into something beyond a sports venue – and the bookings prove it. The arena just celebrated its 30th birthday, and under Thornborough’s watch it pulses well beyond Celtics and Bruins nights: bull riding, two sold-out Connecticut Sun games and the Boston Fleet’s first game on Garden ice, which is set to break the attendance record for women’s hockey.
