Marco and Matt go WAY back 👀 Matt McIlvane, the Bruins newest assistant coach, was an assistant on the German staff at the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, which ended with a program-best silver medal 🥈🇩🇪 Per the Orange County Register, — As it turned out, McIlvane was an 11th-hour replacement on Marco Sturm’s coaching staff. “I guess it was all meant to be,” Sturm said. “Matt was close by. Matt was good. A good teammate and a good person. He checked all the boxes for me without even knowing him. We clicked right away. “I was very lucky. We ended up in a pretty good tandem. He’s a wonderful man.” (H/t OCR) That was back when Sturm and McIlvane were rival coaches in the AHL between the Ontario Reign and San Diego Gulls 😳 #NHL #Hockey #Bruins #Boston #NHLBruins #Anaheim #Ducks #Coach #Deutschland #MarcoSturm
