Boston Bruins Miss Out On Top Coach Target

Rick Tocchet will officially not become the next head coach of the Boston Bruins. The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that they have hired Tocchet to be their head coach.

The Bruins had been heavily connected to Tocchet since he announced that he would not return to the Vancouver Canucks. Furthermore, the Bruins were named among the finalists for Tocchet's services by TSN's Darren Dreger on May 13, along with the Flyers and the Seattle Kraken. Now, Tocchet has picked his destination, and it is not Boston.

Tocchet would have been a nice coach for the Bruins to bring in, especially when looking at his resume. The 2024 Jack Adams Award winner has a 286-265-87 record over nine seasons as an NHL head coach split between the Tampa Bay Lightning, Arizona Coyotes, and Canucks. He also won two Stanley Cups as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Now with Tocchet being off the board, the Bruins will explore their other options. Former Bruins forward Marco Sturm is one candidate they continue to be connected to.

Boston Bruins, Jeremy Swayman struggled mightily during the 2024-25 season. In his first campaign as the Bruins' full-time starting goalie, the 26-year-old posted a 22-29-7 record, a 3.11 goals-against average, and a .892 save percentage in 58 games.
