Cam Neely named Bruins' Vice President

Former Boston Bruins star Cam Neely was named a vice president of the NHL team on Tuesday.

Neely, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Nov. 7, 2005, will be involved in both hockey and club matters, working with general manager Peter Chiarelli on hockey operations and executive vice president Charlie Jacobs on club issues.

Neely, a right wing who combined scoring ability and toughness, retired after the 1995-96 season, his tenth with the Bruins, because of injuries. In 525 regular season games for Boston, he had 344 goals, 246 assists and 921 penalty minutes.

He is fourth in team history in goals and ninth in points. He also was the Bruins’ top goal scorer in seven of his 10 seasons.

His 55 playoff goals are the most in Bruins history and he is seventh on the club with 87 postseason points in 86 games.

Boston obtained Neely on June 6, 1986, from Vancouver along with the Canucks first-round pick for forward Barry Pederson. With that pick, the Bruins chose defenseman Glen Wesley. Vancouver had taken Neely with the ninth pick of the 1983 draft.
