Marco Sturm was named the head coach of the Boston Bruins on Thursday, adding another chapter to the story of the German and his intriguing relationship with the team. The 46-year-old Sturm is the first coach of the Bruins to be born and bred in Europe.

Sturm will also have the comfort of residing in a place that has become so familiar to his family. During his playing days, he lived downtown with his wife, Astrid, and children, Mason and Kaydie, embracing the European feel of one of America’s most iconic cities.
