Former Sea Wolves Coach Bruce Boudreau welcomed back to Biloxi

A hockey legend was welcomed back to the Gulf Coast with opened arms!

Former professional hockey player and coach Bruce Boudreau was honored on the ice right before the Mississippi Sea Wolves hosted the Delaware Thunder.

Fans from both sides of the rink gave him a standing ovation as he dropped the puck and was given a customized jersey.

Boudreau’s hockey resume is nothing short of impressive, but one accomplishment that has gone through his head while being in Mississippi is bringing the Kelly Cup home to Biloxi when he was Sea Wolves head coach in 1999. “One of the big things was winning a championship right here in Biloxi. I thought it was fabulous. Just being able to do this for almost 50 years is quite an honor just to do it, so I think those are the things that stand out you know, but winning championships I mean, you remember forever.”

Boudreau will soon be joining the NHL network as a TV studio analyst.
