Head coach Bruce Cassidy was fired by the Boston Bruins on June 6th, after being part of the organization for 14 years (Providence: 2008-2016, Boston: 2016-2022).
He was hired just eight days later on June 14th by the Vegas Golden Knights to be their third head coach is franchise history.
It appears that the club has taken a very large liking to their new coach, including a somewhat weird preseason gift in Cassidy's honour.
As per the Golden Knights Twitter:
''We're using the scenic opportunities of the #VGKRoadTrip to announce our special preseason giveaways 👀
Fans at our preseason home game on 9/26 vs. LA will receive a Bruce Cassidy miniature gold statue 🤩''
Bruce Cassidy was successful as the Bruins head coach. He appeared in 399 games behind the bench, with a record of 245-108-46.
He also got the club to the playoffs in all six years he was here and finished with an overall record of 36-37. Losing in the Stanley Cup Final to the St. Louis Blues in 2019.
