News about Cam Neely

With a 3-1 win over the visiting Florida Panthers on Monday night, Brad Marchand's 50th career playoff goal set the Boston Bruins' Eastern Conference first-round series, the ultimate difference maker. Marchand, the eighth active NHL player with the second period, joins Cam Neely (55) as the second-ever Bruin to reach that mark. Boston's David Pastrnak and Jake DeBrusk scored, as the team won the most regular-season victories (65) and points (135) in league history.

The student who suffered from bullying at the hands of defenseman Mitchell Miller, who was back in middle school, has alleged that the 2020 draft pick will'spit' in his face and call him a "n****', just days after the Bruins canceled an offer for the ex-NHL prospect. Boston had signed Miller to an entry-level deal on Friday, triggering outrage from players and commentators, until team president Cam Neely rescinded any agreement on the table two days later. In a statement issued by the Hockey Diversity Alliance on Wednesday, Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, who is black and developmentally disabled, said, 'I have bullied since I was in 1st grade.' At my kindergarten, there were not many black students.' I was called "brownie" and "n****." My black mother and dad didn't love me, so I had white parents,' my kids said.'

Bruins President Cam Neely said Monday that Mitchell Miller's internal vetting process had 'dropped the ball,' resulting in the team's decision to rescind its contract offer to the defenseman. In the fourth round of the 2020 draft, the 20-year-old Miller was selected by Arizona, but the Coyotes later renounced his constitutional rights for bullying an African-American classmate with developmental disabilities in middle school. On Friday, Boston signed Miller to an entry-level deal, sparking widespread criticism from Bruins players Patrice Bergeron and others, as well as Boston's fanbase. Miller will not be eligible to play in the league without significant reforms, according to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. 'I'm really sad that we've sparked a lot of people dissatisfied with our decision,' Neely wrote. I take pride in the Bruins organization and what we stand for.' We failed there,' he says.'

The Boston Bruins have decided to withdraw prospect Mitchell Miller, who had his draft rights rescinded by Arizona for bullying a black classmate with developmental disabilities in middle school.
