His journey back to the NHL head coaching ranks took some twists in turns for over a decade. But Bruce Cassidy persevered and the Bruins rewarded him for a job well done.
On the eve of players reporting to Warrior Ice Arena for the start of training camp, the Bruins announced that they’ve agreed to a multi-year contract extension with Cassidy.
“He’s earned the right to lead this hockey club,” Boston GM Don Sweeney said.
And with good reason. This past spring — in his second full season — Cassidy guided the team back to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in six years.
