Jim Montgomery, head coach of the Boston Bruins, has been suspended for one month by the NHL. This suspension, which will last through the end of August, comes in response to an investigation into allegations of misconduct. The specifics of the allegations have not been publicly detailed, but the league’s decision reflects the seriousness of the matter and its commitment to maintaining a respectful and professional environment within the sport.
During Montgomery’s absence, assistant coach Joe Sacco will step up as the interim head coach. Sacco, a former head coach of the Colorado Avalanche, has a solid track record and is expected to manage the team effectively during this period. The Bruins organization has expressed its support for Montgomery and is committed to fully cooperating with the NHL’s investigation. They also emphasize their commitment to upholding the highest standards of conduct.
Montgomery, who joined the Bruins in 2022, has been instrumental in leading the team to success. His suspension will impact the Bruins’ preparation for the upcoming season, but the team’s focus remains on maintaining performance and unity. As the situation unfolds, both the Bruins and their fans are hopeful for a swift resolution and a return to normalcy.
