THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO BOSTON BRUINS EVENTS.
Boston Bruins information, Based in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, the Boston Bruins are a professional men's ice hockey team. They are a part of the Northeast Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The organization has been in existence since 1924 when it entered the league as the first American based expansion team. The team's home arena, the TD Banknorth Garden, has a capacity of 17,565 and is where home games have been played since 1995. Before the TD Banknorth Garden, the team had played at the Boston Garden since 1928. The team's mascot is Blades the Bruin, an ice-skating bear.
The Bruins have won the Stanley Cup five times but currently have the longest drought (36 years) out of any Boston sports organization for winning a title. In only their fifth year as an organization, they captured their first Cup in 1929. With a very strong team in the late 30’s and early 40’s the B’s won titles in 1939 and again in 1941. The team was strong again in the early 1970’s when they would go on to win two more titles in 1970 and 1972. The 1970 Stanley Cup featured one of the most historic goals of all time by Bobby Orr, the Bruins captain, when he went sailing through the air in overtime to deflect a shot in the net to win the team’s most recent championship.
There is a lot of promise right now within the organization. Recent acquisitions like All-Star Zdeno Chara and Marc Savard add to a core of veterans including P.J. Axelsson, Glen Murray and Tim Thomas. Some younger players still developing like Patrice Bergeron and Phil Kessel have bright futures and will help blend together the first decade of the new millennium for the franchise. The front office is dedicated to winning games including new General Manger Peter Chiarelli, Assistant General Manager Jim Benning and former Bruins standout Don Sweeney who is now the Director of Hockey Operations and Player Development. Together they will try to steer a course to victory in the contemporary NHL.
