## Resource

The Boston Bruins have hired Matt McIlvane, a 40-year-old former San Diego Gulls coach with championship experience in Austria, to join their staff. Known for his player development and communication skills, McIlvane brings a strong connection to current coach Marco Sturm — they teamed up on Germany’s Olympic silver-medal squad in 2018. Expected to take over Jay Leach’s role focusing on defense and penalty kill, McIlvane’s track record — including a potent penalty kill and defensemen scoring — positions him to help Boston’s blueliners become more offensive threats.
