Daylight as a Hall of Famer, moonlight as an actor in one of Hollywood’s greatest comedies.
That was the life of Cam Neely. However, for the last 15 years, he has held the title of president of the Boston Bruins.
Neely has helped the $3 billion franchise win their sixth Stanley Cup in 2011 when the Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks in a highly-contested seven-game series.
Ironically enough, the Bruins and Canucks were the only franchises that Neely played for during the course of his 13-year NHL career.
He played his first three seasons in Vancouver, before playing an entire decade in Boston. And while he never won the Stanley Cup as a player, he was able to get the job done as an executive.
- Neely was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2005, but what many may not know or remember is that he also starred in Jim Carrey’s hit movie, Dumb and Dumber.
