Cam Neely is in his seventh season as President of the Bruins, as on June 16, 2010 he became just the eighth man to hold that position in the history of the franchise.
He oversees all of the club's hockey and business operations and his goal from the start has been that the Bruins be at the forefront of setting industry standards in all
areas of operation.
A prime example of that mandate came with the club's July, 2014 announcement of a letter of intent for a long-term lease in a new hockey rink in the Boston Landing development in Boston's Allston-Brighton neighborhood. That project, on which ground was broken in March of 2015, was completed over the summer and the Bruins opened their 2016 training camp in the Warrior Ice Arena, a new practice facility which includes approximately 25,000 square feet of dedicated locker room, training and office space.
Neely assumed his current position in his fourth season in the team's front office, as he returned to the organization in September, 2007 as a Vice President. He also serves as an Alternate Governor of the club. It was under his leadership that the Bruins were honored as the Sports Business Journal's 2012 Sports Team of the Year based on the criteria of "excellence, growth, creativity, innovation, sound planning, implementation and outcomes".
No player ever wore a Bruins sweater with more pride than Neely and no one was prouder than he while watching the 2010-11 Bruins squad develop the belief in themselves and each other en route to the Stanley Cup championship. The competitive instinct that fueled him as a player has not left him as an executive and his goal for the organization remains to return the Cup to Boston.
A 1983 first round draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, Neely came to Boston on his 21st birthday in a June, 1986 trade. His potent blend of offensive talent and a punishing physical presence quickly endeared him to Bruins fans and he became one of the most revered players in team history. He earned four NHL Second-Team All-Star berths in Boston, led the team in goals for seven seasons and in points twice and he still ranks fifth overall on the club's all-time goal list and ninth overall on the team's all-time scoring list. He is the club's all-time leader in playoff goals and ranks seventh overall in team history with 87 career playoff points.
