SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17
You've gawked at your favorite players from behind the glass, but off-the-ice face time with the Boston Bruins can be hard to come by. The boys are willing change that, however, to benefit the Boston Bruins and Travis Roy Foundations. The ninth-annual Boston Bruins Charity Auction, held tonight at Mantra (52 Temple Place, Boston, 617.542.8111) from 5 to 8 p.m., is every hockey fan's dream: a chance to mingle with Bruins players, staff, and other diehard fans. The evening includes a cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvres, a tarot-card reader and photo booth, and silent and live auctions. Get tickets ($100; $80 for season ticket holders) at www.bostonbruins.com or 617.624.1981. @
