The Boston Bruins have announced that they have hired Steve Spott as a new assistant coach.
With former Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco leaving the organization after Boston hired Marco Sturm as their new bench boss, the Original Six club had a vacant assistant coach spot up for grabs. Now, Spott is the guy they are going with for the role.
Spott, 57, just completed a three-year stint as an assistant coach with the Dallas Stars. Before then, he was an assistant coach with the Vegas Golden Knights (2019-20 to 2021-22), San Jose Sharks (2015-16 to 2018-19), and Toronto Maple Leafs (2014-15). He was also head coach of the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, during the 2013-14 season.
Overall, the Bruins have landed a solid assistant coach with plenty of experience in Spott. With this move, the Bruins' coaching staff for the 2025-26 season is complete. In addition to Spott, Jay Leach and Chris Kelly will be the Bruins' assistant coaches for this upcoming campaign.
