Bruins add 2011 Stanley Cup champions Chris Kelly, Adam McQuaid to staff

The Boston Bruins have hired 2011 Stanley Cup champions Chris Kelly and Adam McQuaid ahead of the 2021-22 season, the team announced Friday. 

Kelly will serve as an assistant coach and McQuaid will be the team's player development coordinator. The Bruins also hired Ryan Mougenel as head coach of the Providence Bruins, the team's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. 

Kelly has spent the last two seasons as Boston's player development coordinator. His post-playing career began as a development coach for the Ottawa Senators. 

The 40-year-old spent six of his 14 NHL seasons with the Bruins, scoring 43 goals and notching 58 assists for 101 points in Boston. He appeared in 845 games for the Bruins, Senators and Anaheim Ducks, recording 123 goals, 168 assists and 291 points. 

McQuaid played nine seasons with the Bruins from 2009-18, appearing in 462 games and totaling 13 goals and 53 assists for 67 points. He last played for the New York Rangers and Columbus Blue Jackets before retiring due to a herniated disk injury.
