After drawing significant criticism from across the hockey community, the Bruins cut ties with Mitchell Miller – who was convicted of racist bullying as a juvenile – on Sunday, just days after signing him.
Bruins president Cam Neely apologized Monday, saying that the organization “dropped the ball” in signing Miller, and that the move was his “biggest regret” as an executive.
The fiasco did not end with Neely’s apology, however, as the organization is still under fire from the media, both locally and nationally.
Neely’s assertion that the decision to part ways with Miller was based on “new information” has garnered much attention, with many pointing out that the organization did not do its due diligence before signing Miller if that is the case.
