Bruins Give Don Sweeney Two-Year Extension
- On Tuesday morning, the Boston Bruins announced they have extended Don Sweeney's tenure as general manager with a new contract lasting two additional years, keeping him under agreement through the 2027-28 season.
- This extension comes after a challenging 2024-25 season in which the Bruins finished at the bottom of the Atlantic Division and failed to qualify for the playoffs, ending a postseason streak that had lasted nearly a decade.
- Sweeney has managed the Bruins since 2015, leading them to eight playoff appearances, including the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, but faced challenges such as firing coach Jim Montgomery and a trade deadline roster sell-off last season.
- Bruins president Cam Neely commended Sweeney for steering the team through challenging times with determination, focus, and a strategic outlook aimed at shaping the Boston Bruins' long-term success. Meanwhile, Sweeney expressed gratitude for the confidence shown by ownership and recognized the privilege of leading an organization rich in tradition and supported by devoted fans.
- Sweeney’s immediate priorities include hiring a new head coach, retooling the roster, preparing for the NHL Draft and free agency, and aiming to rebuild the team to return the Bruins to Stanley Cup contention.
