Boston Bruins' Jeremy Swayman turns chef for girlfriend Alessandra's family pizza night
Jeremy Swayman (via Getty Images) Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman is accustomed to dealing with pressure in the goal—but this week, he replaced his goalie gloves with oven mitts in a different arena: the kitchen. Jeremy Swayman turned full-on pizzaiolo at a warm pizza night that his girlfriend Alessandra and her Italian-blood relatives threw. Alessandra showed followers a glimpse of what's behind the scenes through Instagram Stories, captioning a photo of the evening with a simple yet cheerful: 'Build your own [pizza emoji] night!' Boston Bruins' Jeremy Swayman makes pizza with girlfriend Alessandra's Italian family pizza night Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman might get points for speed on the ice, but off-ice, it's his charm that's melting hearts during the offseason. In a warm family gathering that fans saw on social media, Jeremy Swayman indulged in Italian tradition—dough, sauce, and all—during a 'build your own pizza' evening put on by his girlfriend Alessandra and her Italian family. While the All-Star goaltender is notorious for his cool under pressure, it appears as though he's equally focused on impressing the family—with mozzarella. No word on whether his pie made it to the top of the family leaderboard, but if his off-ice moves are anything like his saves, we're betting he served up something worth cheering for. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Promoções imperdíveis de voos baratos Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo As the Bruins gear up for another season, it's clear Jeremy Swayman's off-season is off to a heartwarming—and delicious—start.

Embattled Bruins goalie feels like ‘completely new human' thanks to Worlds (report)
It was a trying 2024-25 season for Jeremy Swayman. A training camp holdout was beneficial for the young Bruins goalie's bank account — he eventually landed an 8-year, $66 million deal — but hindered his play on the ice. Advertisement After missing all of camp, Swayman delivered the worst season of his career. The 26-year-old went 22-29-7 with a 3.11 goals against average and .892 save percentage. Swayman decided to play in the IIHF World Championships after the season, hoping to find his game. The 26-year-old may have found more than just that, given what he said in Sweden. Swayman went 7-0 in goal for Team USA, leading the United States to its first tournament title in 92 years. He posted a .921 save percentage and 1.61 GAA on the undefeated run, and raved about what the experience meant to him ahead of semifinals, according to The Hockey News. 'I couldn't be happier to be at this tournament, especially based on the year I had,' Swayman told The Hockey News last week. 'I feel like a completely new human being and a completely new goalie. The guys in this room have been so incredible for just supporting me, and it's just been a contagious locker room of joy. I just feel like a completely new human being.' Advertisement After saying that, Swayman won two more games and a Gold Medal. It wasn't a Stanley Cup run, but the goalie came into the tournament with a chip on his shoulder. 'I knew this was a great opportunity to play meaningful hockey,' Swayman said. 'At this time of year, I wanted to prove to myself that I could play a full year of a ton of games and still hold my body together and perform at a high level. I couldn't be more honored to play for the USA, and I'm never going to say no. It's something I'm really prideful about.' More Bruins content Read the original article on MassLive.

World Championship reminded Bruins goalie who he was. Now he's ready to build on that
Jeremy Swayman wanted to play in the IIHF World Championship to help rebuild his game. And the Bruins goalie did just that. Swayman went to the World Championship disappointed with the season he had with Boston and emerged a gold medal winner after going a perfect 7-0 in the tournament. Advertisement The goalie — who went 22-29-7 in 58 games last year — totaled a 1.69 goals-against average in seven starts for Team USA. Swayman made some timely, big saves to help lift the Americans to their first gold medal at Worlds since 1933. Speaking to The Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont, Swayman admitted outside noise took a toll on him, including narratives about the eight-year, $66 million contract he signed two days before the Bruins opened their 2024-25 season. But the World Championship was a good reminder that Swayman — when locked in — can be dominant between the pipes. 'I know I can play at this level. I know I can have success at this level,' Swayman told Dupont. 'But my mindset was something that was challenged this year, and what I got to experience with this tournament was, if I get my mind right, I'm pretty hard to score on — and that's something I could really build on.' Advertisement Swayman, in his first year as Boston's No. 1 goalie, now goes into the summer with a perfect record in the tournament, a gold medal, a refreshed mindset and a reminder of the level he can play when he's confident in himself. 'I felt like I was going to the rink every day, doing what I needed to do, and still just wasn't getting results,' Swayman said. 'I had to dig in deeper, had to find different ways to find a way to win, just feel good on the ice. This (playing for Team USA) was just a great way for me to do it.' Swayman getting back on track will be a big advantage for the Bruins who enter the offseason with a lot of questions — including who the next coach will be. While the goalie wasn't the sole reason for Boston's shortcomings, if he can play the way he did during the tournament, or even during the 2023-24 season, the Bruins will be in good shape in net.

‘Boom, I'm back. It was pretty amazing.' Bruin Jeremy Swayman found his game playing for Team USA at World Championship.
The telltale scent was of champagne and beer, the celebratory beverages of choice that showered down on Swayman and his Team USA brethren Sunday in Stockholm when copping Advertisement It also was Swayman's first gold on the international stage — adding to his World Junior bronze medal while on loan from the University of Maine — and it further whet his appetite to play for the Yanks come February at the Olympic Games in Italy. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'Completely,' he said. 'I want nothing more than to be on that Olympic team and being a big piece of USA Hockey, making an impact on this game and taking a gold medal home.' Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman helped Team USA win the World Championship for the first time since 1933. David L. Ryan/Globe Staff Of far more interest to Bruins fans, of course, is what version of Swayman they'll see in the months leading up to, and following, the Winter Games in Milan-Cortina. He struggled in 2024-25, along with most everyone in Black and Gold. The hope throughout the organization now is that the gold-plated, refreshed version of the No. 1 backstop serves as a leverage point in getting the franchise back in the Stanley Cup chase. Advertisement On the eve of the championship game, after backing the US to its semifinal win over Sweden, Swayman said he felt 'rebirthed in a way' by the tournament. He repeated that sentiment Wednesday, while making clear what price a disappointing season extracted from him. 'The ups and down of the season definitely took a toll,' he said. 'The outside noise I was facing, with personal matters, and we weren't getting results as a team. I felt like I was going to the rink every day, doing what I needed to do, and still just wasn't getting results — I had to dig in deeper, had to find different ways to find a way to win, just feel good on the ice. This [playing for Team USA] was just a great way for me to do it.' Some of that outside noise, he noted, included the lingering narrative about his negotiations for a new contract (eight years/$66 million) and the late start to his training camp that came with it. His numbers slumped. So did his confidence. All of which had him eager of a mental reset as he headed to Europe for Uncle Sam. For a guy looking for a reset, a 'different mind-set,' as Swayman put it, it was good to be away with his fellow Americans, 'I truly felt it was a total mind-set thing,' Swayman said. 'I know I can play at this level. I know I can have success at this level. But my mind-set was something that was challenged this year, and what I got to experience with this tournament was, if I get my mind right, I'm pretty hard to score on — and that's something I could really build on.' Advertisement Swayman went 7-0-0 in the tournament, with a 1.69 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage. Although a relatively small sample size compared with the daily NHL grind, and largely against competition not of NHL caliber, it was a vast improvement over his Bruins season: 22-29-7, 3.11, .892. 'The hardest thing ever was letting other people down,' said Swayman. 'Not having confidence in myself, walking down the street and worrying about what other people are thinking, what other people are saying. That's not who I am. That's not who Jeremy is. And I just said, [expletive] that, I'm just going to carry myself with the demeanor that I'm here for a reason — I'm going to help this team win, I am going out to be who I am.' Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman went 7-0-0 at the World Championship. David L. Ryan/Globe Staff The contrast struck him, noted Swayman, when walking the streets of Denmark and Sweden, where people came up to him, asking for autographs and pictures. 'Two weeks [earlier], I would have been like, 'Why?' ' he said. 'I just changed my mind-set. I said, this is why, because I can have an impact on people and I can have an impact on the game of hockey, and it's an incredible opportunity. I have to enjoy it and embrace it.' To emphasize his point, Swayman emphatically snapped his fingers, just once, mirroring the click inside his head. Advertisement 'That's exactly what I did,' he said. 'Boom, I'm back.

Jeremy Swayman was stellar in net to help Team USA win gold at 2025 World Championship
Jeremy Swayman had a forgettable and disappointing 2024-25 season for the Boston Bruins, but his offseason is already off to a great start. The Bruins netminder helped Team USA bring home gold at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, as he capped off the tournament with a shutout in Sunday's title game in Stockholm, Sweden. Swayman stopped all 25 shots that came his way in Team USA's 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Sunday, giving the United States its first gold medal in the tournament since 1933. Overall, Swayman was excellent in net throughout the 2025 Worlds, posting a perfect 7-0 record to go with a .921 save percentage and a 1.69 goals against average for Team USA. The competition he faced in the tournament was obviously a little less talented than what Swayman saw throughout his first full season as Boston's fulltime No. 1 netminder, but his showing for Team USA was a strong finish to an otherwise disappointing year for the 27-year-old. After signing an eight-year, $66 million contract extension late last offseason, Swayman went just 22-29-7 with a .892 save percentage and a 3.11 GAA for the Bruins. The 176 goals he allowed over 58 games were the most in the NHL. But with his strong play during the Worlds, Swayman will have something to build on as he heads into the 2025-26 NHL season. And his strong play in Sweden should keep Swayman as Team USA's No. 3 goalie for the 2026 Winter Olympics, behind Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck and the Dallas' Jake Oettinger. Other Bruins in the 2025 Worlds Swayman wasn't the only Bruins player to have a strong showing for Team USA in Sweden. Forward Andrew Peeke played in all 10 games and tallied a goal and a pair of assists for the Stars and Stripes, and finished with a plus-8 rating for the tournament. Defenseman Mason Lohrei also appeared in five games for Team USA and scored a goal to go along with two assists and his plus-4 rating. It's unclear why he was dropped from the lineup, but Lohrei was out there in uniform with his teammates on Sunday for Team USA's celebration. Elsewhere around the world, David Pastrnak had a tournament-high 15 points for Czechia and was named the tourney's top forward. Elias Lindholm also had a strong run for Sweden with a tournament-best eight goals and 14 points over his 10 games.
