BOSTON (WHDH) – The Boston Bruins officially introduced their new head coach, Marco Sturm, Tuesday, and presented him with a jersey.
Sturm is the 30th head coach in franchise history and is back in Boston after spending five years as a player.
“I think it’s all about timing and I think the timing was just perfect. Why? Because where we’re at as a team right now. And I think that’s exactly where my strengths are. We still have a really, really good core group of guys here, I think. It’s going to take a little bit of time. It’s not going to be an overnight thing.”
“First time in a long year, I think drafting-wise, we’re going to have some young kids coming up,” he continued.
He spoke at a news conference, reaffirming his commitment to the team and its players.
“I still love our team, even without any additions. Because we, I think, we have good goaltending, I think when everyone stays healthy we really do have a good D-corps. We hopefully are going to add a few pieces up front, but overall, I do like our corps,” Sturm said.
Former player Patrice Bergeron was on hand Tuesday to welcome Sturm.
