The Bruins finished second in the NHL during the 1942–43 season with 24 wins in 50 games and Ross was again named in the Second NHL All-Star Team as second best coach in the league.
Pred začetkom sezone 1941/42 je Ross ponovno prevzel mesto glavnega trenerja, ker je Weiland prevzel moštvo Hershey Bears v ligi AHL, in popeljal klub do petindvajsetih zmag na oseminštiridesetih tekmah, kar je pomenilo tretje mesto v rednem delu lige.
