HANOVER, Mass. — Marco Sturm only has a few more weeks to go before he can conduct his first full-squad practice with the Bruins at Warrior Ice Arena.
For the first-year bench boss, Sept. 17 can’t come soon enough.
“Now it becomes real. You feel it. Players are coming in. They’re skating. They’re stopping by at the office. So that’s what it’s all about,” Sturm said Friday at the Bruins’ fan-fest event in Hanover. “You’re probably getting sick of me just talking. For me personally, I just want to work.”
After months of anticipation and prep work, Sturm and his coaching staff are looking forward to getting back on the frozen sheet and helping right the ship for a retooling Bruins roster than went 33-39-10 last season.
