"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.""
"For Sturm, some of the key messages shared during the upcoming three-week training camp will revolve around intensity, accountability, and setting a new standard at the practice rink. "I think that will feel my energy, they will feel the coaching staff's excitement and energy as well, right from day one," Sturm said of what's in store for his players. "They want to practice, and that's where we're going for. We have a lot of work to do with schedule this year.""
Marco Sturm will begin full-squad practices with the Bruins on Sept. 17 at Warrior Ice Arena after months of preparation. He and his coaching staff plan to implement system tweaks and lineup adjustments to improve a roster that went 33-39-10 last season. Training camp will last three weeks and emphasize intensity, accountability, and a new standard at the practice rink. The condensed schedule in an Olympic year creates many games in a short time, increasing the need for depth. Sturm projects coaching energy and excitement and expects players to embrace hard work and competition for roster spots.
