SJHN Daily: Jumbo Watches Giants, Sturm Is Bruins Head Coach, Quinn Returns to Rangers
A former San Jose Sharks star is stepping into the Boston Bruins head coaching job.
Switching coasts, Marco Sturm is set to take on his first NHL head coach role. He previously served as the coach of the Ontario Reign in the AHL and as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Kings. He also interviewed to be Sharks bench boss last summer, before San Jose choose Ryan Warsofsky.
Sturm played for the San Jose Sharks from 1997 to 2005, when he was sent to the Boston Bruins in the Joe Thornton trade. The German winger buried 273 points through 553 games in a Sharks uniform.
Now, Sturm will be the 30th head coach in Boston Bruins history, at the helm of a team that missed the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons this year.
