Bruins continue captaincy search before NHL training camp opens
Summary

Boston Bruins leadership remains undecided as the team gathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, for the annual team foundation golf tournament. Coach Marco Sturm confirmed on Wednesday that the organization is still in the process of selecting a captain for the upcoming season. The team operated without a captain during the previous campaign, relying on a leadership group that included Charlie McAvoy, David Pastrnak, and Hampus Lindholm. Discussions regarding the vacancy have involved input from players, with management planning to finalize the decision before training camp begins on September 16. The Bruins have not designated a captain since March 2025, marking the second-longest duration without one in the history of the franchise.
