Bruins name ex-forward Marco Sturm as head coach after missing playoffs for first time since 2016
June 5, 2025
The Boston Bruins have hired Marco Sturm as coach to help the Original Six franchise get back to the playoffs after missing them for the first time since 2016. The Bruins picked Sturm to replace interim coach Joe Sacco, who took over from the fired Jim Montgomery in November and led the team to a 25-30-7 record — much of it after a trade deadline roster purge. Sturm becomes the 30th head coach in Bruins history after spending the past three seasons as head coach of the AHL’s Ontario Reign.
