coaching changes on November 19th 2024 the team dismissed head coach Jim Montgomery after a disappointing start with an 89 and3 record over the first 20 games montgomery had previously led the Bruins to an historic 65 win season in 2223 earning the President’s Trophy and the Cursed Jack Adams however the team’s performance declined leading to his departure following McGomery’s dismissal associate coach Joe Sacko was appointed as interimm head coach sacko a veteran of the Boston Bruins coaching staff since 2014 had prior head coaching experience with the Colorado Avalanche from 2009 to 2013 under his interimm leadership the Bruins aimed to stabilize their performance and reestablish a cohesive team dynamic as the season progressed reports emerged suggesting that the former Bruins forward Marco Sturm was a leading candidate become the team’s next head coach sturm who had a successful playing career with the Bruins transitioned into coaching after retirement including a notable tenure as head coach of the German national team his familiarity with the organization and coaching experience made him a compelling option for the Boston Bruins future leadership the Bruins released a press release and it reads “Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced today June 5th that Marco Sturm has been named the 30th head coach of the Boston Bruins.” “We’re proud to name Marco as the 30th head coach to the Boston Bruins and welcome him Astred Mason and Katie to Boston,” said general manager Don Sweeney throughout the process our goal was to identify a coach who could uphold our strong defensive foundation while helping us evolve offensively we were also looking for a communicator and leader someone who connects with players develops young talent and earns the respect of the room marco impressed us at every step with his preparation clarity and passion his path playing for multiple NHL teams coaching international and leading at both the NHL and AHL levels has shaped a well-rounded coach who’s earned this opportunity as a former Bruin he understands what this team means to the city and our fans we’re embracing a new direction with Marco behind the bench and I’m confident his energy standards and commitment to competitive hard-nosed brand of hockey reflects exactly what the Bruins should be “i’m incredibly honored to be named the head coach of the Boston Bruins,” said Strum “i want to thank Charlie Jacobs and the Jacobs family Cam Ney and Don Sweeney for trusting me with this opportunity boston has always held a special place in my heart and I know how much this team means to the city and our fans i felt that the passion as a player and I can’t wait to be behind the bench and feel it again i’m excited to get to work and do everything I can to help this team succeed strumm 46 served as head coach of the AHL’s Ontario reign for the past three seasons from 2022 to 25 under Sturm the team compiled an overall record of 119 80 and 11 and made three consecutive playoff appearances prior to his time in Ontario Sturm spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Kings from 2018 to 22 in his final year behind the bench with Los Angeles the Kings earned their first Stanley Cup playoff birth since 2018 and posted a 99 point regular season 4427 and 11 before joining the Kings organization Sturm served as a head coach and general manager for Germans men’s national team from 2015 to 2018 in 2018 Sturm led Germany to a silver medal finish in the 2018 Olympic Games becoming the first German team to ever appear in a gold medal game and the first German team to make the Olympic podium since 1976 sterm’s coaching tenure with Germany was additionally highlighted by a Doang Cup title in 2015 and back-to-back quarterfinal appearances in 2016 2017 at the IIHF Men’s World Championship the best final placement for Germany since 2011 as a player Sterm skated in 938 career NHL games with Florida Vancouver Los Angeles Boston and San Jose from 1997 to 2012 recording 242 goals and 245 assist for 487 points with a plus 59 rating he scored the game-winning overtime goal for the Bruins 2-1 win over the Flyers at the 2010 Winter Classic at Fenway i was there the Germany native was originally selected by San Jose in the first round 21st overall of the 1996 NHL entry draft he leads all German players for the most NHL games played and ranked second for career goals and career points internationally he represented Germany at three Olympic games in 1998 2002 and 2010 for IIAHF men’s World Championships in 1997 2001 2004 and 2008 and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey sturm’s impact on German hockey was immediate and profound under his leadership Germany qualified for the 2016 IAHF World Championship quarterfinals a major achievement given their struggles in previous tournaments however his most notable accomplishments came during the 2018 Winter Olympics where he coached Germany to a historical silver medal as I mentioned before Sturm doesn’t exactly bring NHL head coaching experience because he was only an assistant to Boston but I don’t see that as a bad thing he has coached at almost every level and had great success he’s been around the game his whole life knows the organization and I think he’s been away long enough to bring a new perspective it’s not exactly like he’s been in the Bruins organization for years like many of the head coaches in the previously besides Jim Montgomery i can see that as an asset the LA Kings have done a fantastic job developing young talent and he’s a big part of that and the Bruins are going to be a young team now sturm isn’t known as a pushover either and known as being a fair coach and sort of a player’s coach cuz he’s been around the game so I’m hoping with this new leadership corps he can bring a fresh perspective and help that new leadership core grow i want to hear from you what are your thoughts on the Bruins hiring Marco Sturm as their
