Charlie Jacobs named governor of the Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have announced a leadership transition as Charlie Jacobs succeeds his father, Jeremy Jacobs, as the team’s governor. The change is effective immediately.

Jeremy Jacobs, who served as governor for 51 years, stated that the move is a natural step in the family’s succession plan. Charlie Jacobs, who has served as the team’s CEO since 2015 and as an alternate governor for 26 years, will now represent the club on the NHL’s Board of Governors.

Jeremy Jacobs previously served as the Chairman of the NHL’s Board of Governors for 19 years before stepping down ahead of the 2026-27 season. Charlie Jacobs noted his intention to build upon his father’s legacy while working alongside NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the Board of Governors.
