Ray Bourque to the Bruins?

Here is an interesting article that I found on line. It seems like a good fit. [Bruins Offer Coaching, Front-Office, Playing Position To Ray Bourque]
BOSTON—Citing continued leadership problems at the executive and strategic levels, as well as the fact that they could use a little help on defense, Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs expressed interest in signing former All-Star captain Ray Bourque to help the struggling Bruins "in a variety of ways." "In addition to being a favorite of fans here in Boston, Ray Bourque is a proven champion," Jacobs said, referring to Bourque's 21 years with the Bruins and his brief stint with the Stanley Cup-winning Colorado Avalanche. "I believe the leadership, vision, and motivation he exhibited during two decades as a professional hockey player will translate extremely well to his new roles as head coach, general manager, and hockey player." The 45-year-old Bourque announced he is considering the offer, but will weigh it against the opportunity recently offered to him to become concessions, lighting, and entertainment director for Boston's TD Banknorth Garden.

UPDATE: I recieved an email from someone that informed me that this story is false.

BallHype: hype it up!

  1. Very interesting...I was told he was going to be an assistant coach with the Quebec Remparts this season because his son is on the team.

  2. I had heard that one too. Looks like a bidding war for the hall of famer.
