The Boston Bruins have made a decision on their next head coach.
The team announced Thursday morning that Marco Sturm will be the 30th head coach in franchise history — with the former Boston winger poised to lead what will be a retooling roster moving forward.
“I’m incredibly honored to be named head coach of the Boston Bruins,” Sturm said in a team release. “I want to thank Charlie Jacobs and the Jacobs family, Cam Neely, and Don Sweeney for trusting me with this opportunity. Boston has always held a special place in my heart, and I know how much this team means to the city and to our fans.
