The Boston Bruins have appointed Marco Sturm as their new head coach, finalizing their leadership for the upcoming NHL season. This hiring completes the coach hiring process for all NHL teams, with Sturm being associated with the Bruins and others as a top candidate. He becomes the third coach since November after firing Jim Montgomery due to poor performance. General Manager Don Sweeney emphasized Sturm's capabilities to enhance defensive strategies while fostering offensive growth and noted his strong communication skills and connection with players.
"Throughout this process, our goal was to identify a coach who could uphold our strong defensive foundation while helping us evolve offensively... Marco impressed us at every step with his preparation, clarity, and passion."
"Sturm was one of the names who had been long connected with the Bruins, among other teams, in a cycle in which up to eight different franchises were seeking a head coach."
