On Monday, Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney announced that they have relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties as head coach. Cassidy has been coach of the Bruins since February 7, 2017 and in 399 games, had a record of 245-108-4. The Bruins made the playoffs every season that Cassidy coached, including their Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2019.
"Today I informed Bruce Cassidy that I was making a head coaching change," said Sweeney. "After 14 years working with Bruce, this was an extremely difficult decision. I want to thank and acknowledge Bruce for all his work and success with the Bruins organization. His head coaching record for the Bruins is impressive, and we are appreciative of Bruce both professionally and personally. After taking some time to fully digest everything, I felt that the direction of our team for both this season and beyond would benefit from a new voice. I want to wish Bruce, Julie, Shannon and Cole much success as a family and with their future opportunities."
