David Carle's Fate With The Boston Bruins
Carle was a top candidate for multiple NHL teams that are currently looking for a new head coach, and with Mike Sullivan taking on a job in New York, Carle became a top candidate for the Bruins.
It was revealed that David Carle is going to be staying in the NCAA with Denver Hockey. He has led them to two championships at the collegiate level, and has a very impressive record sitting at 179-74-17.
During the 2024-25 season, Carle had a record of 32-12-1 and ended up reaching the NCAA Frozen Four for the second year in a row.
Named the ninth Denver hockey head coach in program history on May 25, 2018, Carle was 28 years old at the time of his hire and was youngest head coach in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey. He first joined DU as a student assistant coach from 2008-2012 and later served four and a half seasons as a full-time assistant coach under Jim Montgomery (2014-2018), reaching two Frozen Fours and winning the 2017 national championship.
It's an understatement that he is a really good head coach, and unfortunately the Boston Bruins have missed out on another really good one.
