BREAKING NEWS: St. Louis Blues NHL Community Overjoyed as Head Coach Jim Montgomery Makes Stunning Announcement Involving Bernie Federko

In a move that has sent shockwaves of excitement through the NHL and especially among St. Louis Blues fans, Head Coach Jim Montgomery has made a historic announcement: Blues legend Bernie Federko will be returning to the organization in a new and influential role.

During a packed press conference at Enterprise Center, Montgomery revealed that Bernie Federko will be joining the Blues as a Special Advisor to the Center Development Program, focusing on mentoring the team’s young core of centers both on and off the ice.

“Bernie is a Blues icon and one of the greatest playmakers the game has ever seen,” said Montgomery. “Bringing him into this developmental role is a game-changer for our franchise. His experience, vision, and passion for the team are unmatched.”

The announcement has sparked an outpouring of celebration across the St. Louis hockey community. Federko, who spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Blues, is revered as one of the all-time greats. With 1,130 points in 927 games, he remains the franchise’s all-time assist leader.

In his new role, Federko will work closely with both NHL and AHL-level centers, including rising stars like Jimmy Snuggerud and veteran captain Brayden Schenn.

Federko, now 69, expressed deep gratitude and excitement:

“The Blues are my home. It means everything to be back in a role where I can help shape the future of this organization. I see so much potential in our young guys, and I’m here to help them become great.”

Fans, alumni, and analysts alike are calling the move a masterstroke by Montgomery and GM Doug Armstrong, praising the Blues for honoring their history while investing in their future.

More details about Federko’s role and upcoming training initiatives will be shared in the coming weeks as the team gears up for the 2025-26 season.
