Also on the team was another Bruins draft pick this seaosn, Will Moore. Ryan Bourque played in that program from 2007-09.

“We are very excited to announce the addition of Ryan Bourque to our team and coaching staff,” said Mougenel. “Ryan’s hockey acumen, attention to detail, and his ‘player first’ attitude were exactly what we were looking for when rounding out our coaching staff. We are thrilled to welcome Ryan and his family to the Bruins organization.”

Ryan Bourque grew up in the Boston area when his father played for the Bruins, and he knows all about the history of the organization and now being a part of it, even in the AHL, he looks to make his own name for the organization, through he coaching ranks.
