BOSTON (AP) - Harry Sinden, president of the Boston Bruins for the last 17 of his more than 40 years with the team, resigned Wednesday to become an adviser to club owner Jeremy Jacobs.
The move is the latest in the reorganization of a franchise that last won the Stanley Cup in 1972 and hired Peter Chiarelli as general manager and Dave Lewis as coach after last season.
The team said it would not hire a new president, but instead align all hockey operations under new general manager Peter Chiarelli.
Sinden, 74, said the timing is right for him to step down, as he's been moving toward an advisory capacity with the Bruins for some time. He added that he needed to step aside to ensure people know that the new management team was running the Bruins, not him.
