Hockey Betting Lines

08/04/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins hired Doug Jarvis as an assistant coach on Wednesday.

Jarvis spent four seasons, from 2005-09, as an assistant with the Montreal Canadiens, Boston's perennial rival, including part of the 2005-06 season under current Bruins head coach Claude Julien when Julien was head man with the Habs.

Prior to that, the 55-year-old served as head coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League for two years and also worked for 14 seasons (1988-2002) with the Minnesota/Dallas franchise.

The Ontario native played for three clubs from 1975-88, and is currently the record-holder for most consecutive games played with 964 -- the exact number of games he played in his career. He won four Stanley Cups with the Canadiens from 1976-79, helping beat the Bruins twice in that span (1977-78).

Former NHL defenseman Doug Houda and Geoff Ward round out Julien's assistants.
