Sinden Steps Down As Bruins’ President

He was coach when Bobby Orr made his celebratory flop during the Bruins’ 1970 championship, the general manager who brought Hall of Famers like Ray Bourque to Boston, and president as the team slipped into mediocrity.

Yesterday, Harry Sinden became the latest figure in the team’s off-season shake-up. Sinden resigned as president after 17 years to become an adviser to team owner Jeremy Jacobs. Sinden, 74, had become synonymous with the franchise after more than 40 years with the Bruins. But the team is reorganizing, hiring Peter Chiarelli as general manager and Dave Lewis as coach as it tries to win its first Stanley Cup since 1972.
