Catching Up With Former Seattle Kraken Player & Assistant Coach
Colin Blackwell About To Seek New Team; Jay Leach Found Old One
thehockeynews.comHere’s the latest I could verify about Jay Leach:
- He was reported as joining the Boston Bruins as an assistant coach in June 2024, continuing his established coaching path in the Bruins organization. This remains the most recent, widely covered update tying him to a coaching role with the Bruins.[1]
- Prior reporting indicated he was involved in Bruins coaching staff changes for the 2024-25 season and had previously served as an AHL coach with the Providence Bruins.[2][1]
- Coverage from The Hockey News and Yardbarker around 2024-2025 framed him as a continuing Bruins contributor and a potential candidate for future roles within the organization, including ties to Seattle Kraken history and earlier links to Bruins staff moves.[4][2]
If you’d like, I can do a quick update pass to check for any fresh developments from the current season, or pull the latest primary sources (Bruins press releases, NHL.com notes) to confirm whether there have been any new coaching staff changes involving Jay Leach since mid-2024.
