Overview

• The Boston Bruins have officially launched a search for a new permanent head coach, announced during their end-of-season press conference.
• Interim coach Joe Sacco, who stepped in after Jim Montgomery’s midseason dismissal, is a confirmed candidate for the role.
• The Bruins finished the 2024-25 season with a 33-39-10 record, tied for the worst in the Eastern Conference, and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
• CEO Charlie Jacobs apologized to fans for the team’s poor performance and pledged to deliver a more competitive roster moving forward.
• The coaching search marks the Bruins' third since 2022, as management aims to stabilize leadership and address roster challenges following a trade deadline selloff.
