Calling it his biggest regret as a Bruins executive, team president Cam Neely said the franchise made significant mistakes in the vetting and signing of Mitchell Miller.
Chief among them: “We didn’t talk to the family,” Neely said, referring to Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, the Black developmentally disabled classmate Miller bullied for several years.
”We dropped the ball,” Neely said, “and I’m here to apologize for that.”
Neely said it was a failing of the Bruins’ hockey operations department that it did not discover the extent of Miller’s abhorrent abuse of Meyer-Crothers.
