Overview
- The Boston Bruins staged their 23rd annual Boston Bruins Foundation golf tournament Wednesday at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth as a community fundraiser with alumni and Special Olympics athletes.
- Coach Marco Sturm said the organization is “still in the process” of naming a captain and expects to make a decision before the regular season opens.
- Sturm, general manager Don Sweeney, and president Cam Neely have held leadership talks and plan more in-person discussions that will include player feedback as the roster reconvenes.
- With training camp set to open on September 16 and a shortened four-game preseason, younger players will have fewer chances to earn roster spots and coaches will face a condensed evaluation window.
- The captain question follows last season’s first-round playoff exit and a vacancy that dates to March 7, 2025, a backdrop that management says is driving a focus on clearer leadership and on-ice progress this year.
