With Bill Belichick leading the way, the New England Patriots won six Super Bowl championships and redefined excellence in Boston sports.
That remarkable era came to an end with Belichick and the Patriots parting ways mutually on Thursday after 24 seasons. On a historic day in the region, Belichick’s tenure was a popular conversation point for the Boston Bruins before taking on the Vegas Golden Knights.
“I want to start off by congratulating Bill Belichick on a tremendous 24-year run with the New England Patriots in incredible success that’s never been seen before in the NFL,” Jim Montgomery told reporters in his press availability on Thursday, per team-provided video.
