WORCESTER, Mass. – The Boston Bruins hired Marco Sturm to be their next head coach.

It’s a big hire for the B’s who have had a merry-go-round of coaches the last few years.  

98.5 The Sports Hub’s Tim McKone likes the hiring of the former Bruin.  

“He’s obviously a former Bruin, came over in the Joe Thornton trade,” said McKone. “So certainly a familiar face coming to Boston, but there’s plenty at work. It was a disappointing year last year for the Boston Bruins. After a big offseason it kind of fell apart for them, so there’s a lot of work to do this offseason, and this was a good first step to get back on track for the Boston Bruins.”
