Tom was a huge part of our Bruins family, having served as a coach, scout and ambassador for more than 30 years.

His hockey mind, colorful personality, gruff voice, and unmatched sense of humor livened up every room he entered and will be dearly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family and many loved ones.
