Boston Bruins announce a historic leadership change as longtime governor Jeremy Jacobs steps down after 51 years, naming his son Charlie Jacobs as the new governor effective immediately. Charlie, who has served as the team's alternate governor for 26 years and has been CEO since 2015, will represent the Bruins on the NHL Board of Governors. Jeremy, who purchased the team in 1975 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017, also relinquishes the NHL board chairmanship to Capitals owner Ted Leonsis. The transition underscores the Jacobs family's continued stewardship of the franchise.
