Member of Bruins coaching staff joining Boston University Terriers
After the news yesterday that it is unlikely that assistant coach Kevin Dean was returning to the Boston Bruins for the 2022-23 season, another coach has officially left too.
Skating and skills coach Kim Brandvold has accepted the role of assistant coach with the Boston University hockey team. Both the Bruins and Terriers announced it earlier this afternoon:
Boston University released this statement about the hiring:
"Brandvold comes to BU after spending the past seven seasons as a skating and skills coach with the Boston Bruins. While with the Bruins, Brandvold was integral in the development of the organization's young talent, including former Terriers Matt Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy. He helped the Bruins advance to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in six straight seasons, including a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2019. Brandvold also worked with players at the Bruins' AHL affiliate in Providence. In addition to his duties with the Bruins, Brandvold was head coach of the boys hockey team at Central Catholic High School from 2016-2018."
Brandvold is a native of Oslo, Norway, and played 86 games for UMass Lowell River Hawks from 2002 to 2006. He also represented his country at the U18 and U20 levels.
