Boston Bruins fans were surprised (or amused) by the termination of Peter Chiarelli earlier today. Chiarelli had been with the Bruins for nine seasons and was the presiding general manager over the Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup Championship. During his tenure, the outgoing GM had a record of 386-233-85. The Bruins exceeded 100 points in four of those seasons, and had a seven year post-season streak.
While Charlie Jacobs has taken over the day-to-day operations of Delaware North, his father Jeremy is still the owner of the organization. After the press conference had been concluded at the TD Garden, the Bruins owner released a statement over Chiarelli’s termination.
