The announcement, made earlier this week, came with widespread acclaim from both the National Hockey League and local community members. Jacobs, who has served as the CEO of the Boston Bruins since 2007, brings a wealth of experience in both business and hockey to the Foundation. Under his leadership, the Bruins have consistently been one of the most successful and beloved franchises in the NHL, both on and off the ice.

 

A Strong Partnership Between Bruins and USA Hockey

 

In his new role, Jacobs will work alongside a group of distinguished individuals dedicated to advancing hockey in the United States.

A Commitment to Growing the Sport

 

USA Hockey has been making tremendous strides in growing the game, particularly at the grassroots level. Over the last several years, the organization has focused on expanding opportunities for children to participate in hockey, with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion. These efforts align with Jacobs’ longstanding commitment to creating opportunities for youth in the sport.

 

In particular, Jacobs has been a strong advocate for initiatives aimed at making hockey more accessible to young athletes, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Under his leadership, the Bruins have taken part in several initiatives that aim to provide access to hockey for children who might otherwise not be able to afford the equipment, training, and travel costs associated with the sport.

 

His work with the Bruins has seen the organization partner with local schools and non-profits to offer free learn-to-skate programs and distribute hockey equipment to underserved communities in Boston and beyond. This commitment to helping young players break down barriers and get involved with the game has been central to Jacobs’ philosophy as an executive.

 

Looking Ahead

 

With his new position on the USA Hockey Foundation Board, Jacobs will have an even greater opportunity to shape the future of hockey in the United States. He will collaborate with other leaders in the sport to continue improving the player experience and ensuring that the game remains inclusive and accessible to all.

 

As USA Hockey looks toward the future, Jacobs’ influence and vision will likely play a key role in its efforts to elevate the sport and inspire the next generation of hockey players. With his deep understanding of the game, business acumen, and commitment to the community, Charlie Jacobs is poised to make a lasting impact both on and of
