Bruins name Marco Sturm as team’s 30th head coach

The Boston Bruins have announced the hiring of Marco Sturm as their head coach for the 2024-25 NHL season. Sturm, a former player for the Bruins, returns to the organization after having spent the previous four seasons as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Kings. His experience and strong understanding of the game make him an ideal candidate to lead the Bruins into a new era following a season of significant player turnover. In his previous role with the Kings, Sturm helped develop young talent and implement a strong team culture, which he hopes to replicate in Boston. This move signals a shift in strategy for the Bruins as they look to blend experience with youth to cultivate a successful roster moving forward.
