Boston Bruins officially sign GM Don Sweeney to contract extension
Boston Bruins President Cam Neely announced earlier today that the team has signed general manager Don Sweeney to a multi-year contract extension.
Sweeney was named the eighth general manager in the history of the club prior to the 2015-16 season.
Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs released this statement:
'' We are proud to extend Don Sweeney to a multi-year contract as General Manager of the Boston Bruins.''
�'Under his management, the Boston Bruins have been one of the winningest franchises in the league and a perennial playoff contender year in and year out. While we recognize there is work to be done to achieve the ultimate goal of bringing the Stanley Cup back to Boston, I'm confident that Don's commitment to being best-in-class on and off the ice will help us climb that mountain once again.''
