Former Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy abruptly fired by Vegas before playoffs
"We thank Bruce Cassidy for his dedication to our hockey club and community over the past four seasons. Under Bruce's leadership, we reached our ultimate goal in 2023 by bringing a Stanley Cup to Vegas. Bruce will forever be remembered with the utmost regard by our organization for what was accomplished here."
"With the stretch run of the 2025-26 regular season upon us, we believe that a change is necessary for us to return to the level of play that is expected of our club. With John Tortorella, we bring in a Stanley Cup Champion as well as one of the most experienced and respected coaches in the NHL."
Bruce Cassidy was recently fired by the Vegas Golden Knights, just a year after leading the team to its first Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights, currently struggling with a 36-26-16 record, decided to make a coaching change to improve performance. General Manager Kelly McCrimmon expressed gratitude for Cassidy's contributions, highlighting the team's success under his leadership. John Tortorella has been appointed as the new head coach, bringing extensive experience and a championship background to the team during a critical point in the season.
