In the aftermath of their decision to sign controversial prospect Mitchell Miller, the Bruins announced Tuesday that they hired an independent law firm to conduct a review of the team’s player vetting process.
The review will be led by former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who is part of the Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison law firm.
The Bruins shared some regret over the signing of Miller, who was convicted of racist bullying as a teenager and was alleged to have bullied a Black and developmentally disabled classmate for years without apologizing.
“The Boston Bruins strive every day to live our values and meet the high standards our associates, fans and community have come to expect,” the team said in a statement on Tuesday.
