Along with the Montreal Maroons , the Bruins were the first expansion franchise in the NHL and the league s first American-based club. The Bruins finished sixth and last in the league standings. Regular season 1924 25 NHL season Despite problems with the ice plant that threatened the home opener the Bruins started the season out auspiciously, defeating their fellow expansion Maroons squad in a nearly sold out Boston Arena 2-1; the first goal in franchise history was scored by Smokey Harris , while Carson Cooper , who assisted on Harris’ goal, scored the game winner. However, Boston lost its next eleven games, as well as having a seven game losing streak, and finished in the basement. The Bruins had signed veteran West Coast star goaltender Hec Fowler as their netminder, but behind a weak defense, Fowler and backup Howie Lockhart played very poorly and the Bruins were repeatedly shelled, allowing ten goals in a game twice, one of which saw Toronto player Babe Dye score five goals on December 22.

Regular season 1925 26 NHL season Opening the season with a 2-1 loss to the expansion Pittsburgh Pirates , it looked initially as if the Bruins would turn in as poor a season as the year before, as they won only two of their first ten games, and after two consecutive wins, turned in an 0-5-3 record for most of January. From a 5-0 shutout victory over the Maroons on January 30, however, the Bruins won 13 of their last 17 games, a 2-1 overtime loss to the Pirates on March 12 being the difference to lose out on a playoff berth to Pittsburgh by a single point. The winning percentage improvement of .328 from the previous season was a NHL record at the time, and remains the third best single season improvement ever. A healthy Carson Cooper contributed to a near doubling of goals scored to lead the league, while the purchase of veteran star defenseman Sprague Cleghorn from the Montreal Maroons |

Playing career Signed by the Boston Bruins of the NHL as a teenager, Goldsworthy played his junior days with the Bruins’ Ontario Hockey Association affiliate Niagara Falls Flyers , a powerful team with future NHL stars Derek Sanderson , Bernie Parent , Jean Pronovost , Don Marcotte , Doug Favell and Rosaire Paiement among numerous others. Even with such a strong squad, Goldsworthy finished second and third in team scoring his final two seasons with the club, en route to a Memorial Cup finals appearance in 1963 and winning it outright in 1965 in a series marked by brawls and suspensions.

Excerpt: The Frisk Tigers are the ice hockey division of IF Frisk Asker, a Norwegian sports club whose members also participate in inline hockey, snowboarding and football.

They are based in the municipality of Asker and play their home games in Askerhallen. Their team colours are green, red and white; originally these were orange and blue. The Frisk Tigers are currently members of the highest Norwegian ice hockey league, Eliteserien (or GET-ligaen for sponsorship reasons). They have won the Norwegian Ice Hockey Championship three times, most recently in 2002, and the League Championship five times, last in the 200708 season. Before the 2000s, the Tigers’ most successful period was in the 1970s, during which they won all their previous titles. Frisk is one of the oldest ice hockey clubs in Norway dating back to 1935.

Farmer Bjørn Mortensen wished to give something back to the community by building an indoor ice rink in Asker. It was the first of its kind in the Oslo area, and gave the club a tremendous lift. Askerhallen was opened on August 31. 1969, and led to a series of events that would bring Frisk to the pinnacle of Norwegian Ice Hockey in only a few years.

Excerpt: Christopher Roy Oddleifson (born September 7, 1950, in Brandon, Manitoba) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League from 1972 until 1981. He is best known for his time with the Vancouver Canucks, where he was one of the team’s top players for much of the 1970s and served as team captain in 197677. Oddleifson was selected 10th overall in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft by the California Golden Seals following a dominant final junior season with the Winnipeg Jets of the WCHL, during which he finished with 95 points (including a league-leading 64 assists) and 243 penalty minutes. However, he was assigned to the minors and would never play an NHL game for the Seals, and was dealt to the Boston Bruins mid-way through the 197172 season. In 197273, Oddleifson finally made his NHL debut, appearing in 6 games for Boston without recording a point. He managed to crack the Bruins full-time in 197475 and acquitted himself well, highlighted by a four-goal game against the Golden Seals, the team that had given up on him two years earlier. Late in the season, he was dealt to the Vancouver Canucks in a deal for sniper Bobby Schmautz, and he finished out his rookie season with decent totals of 13 goals and 29 points in 70 games between Boston and Vancouver. Oddleifson would have his breakout year in 197475, as he emerged as a leader on a young Canuck team which surprised by winning their division and making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. He proved himself to be an exceptional all-around player who possessed size, toughness, and playmaking ability, as well as the ability to play both at center and on the wing. He lead the Canucks in scoring through the early part of the season, until Chicago’s Keith … More: |

Carolina Hurricanes Arenas: Hartford Whalers Arenas, Boston Garden, Greensboro Coliseum, Xl Center, Rbc Center $9.16 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Boston Garden was an arena which opened November 17, 1928 in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed by boxing promoter Tex Rickard, who also built the third incarnation of New York’s Madison Square Garden, the arena was originally called the “Boston Madison Square Garden”, but eventually got clipped to the Boston Garden. It would eventually outlive its original namesake by some 30 years. Located on top of North Station, a train station, which is a hub for MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak trains, the Garden hosted home games for the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics, as well as rock concerts, amateur sports, boxing and wrestling cards, circuses and ice shows. It was also used as an exposition hall for political rallies such as the speech by John F. Kennedy in November, 1960. The Boston Garden was demolished in 1997, a few years after the completion of its new successor arena, the FleetCenter, which is now known as TD Garden. Tex Rickard built the arena specifically with boxing in mind, believing that every seat should be close enough to see the “sweat on the boxers’ brows.” Because of this design theme, when the larger hockey and basketball playing areas were used, fans were much closer to the players than in most arenas, leading to a distinct hometown advantage. The closeness also created spectacular acoustic effects. When teams made playoff appearances, and a sold out crowd was chanting or screaming, the impact was enormous. During the 1980s, the Boston Garden was known as the most difficult sporting venue for visiting sports team to visit. The Boston Celtics dominance at home, especially during the mid-80s helped to create this aura. During the 1986 season, the Celtics were 40-1 at home, setting the NBA record for home court mastery. They also fi… More: |

Chapters: Boston Garden, St. Louis Arena, Detroit Olympia, University of Denver Arena, Chelmsford Forum, Ralph Engelstad Arena, Mchugh Forum. Excerpt: The Boston Garden was an arena which opened November 17, 1928 in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed by boxing promoter Tex Rickard, who also built the third incarnation of New York’s Madison Square Garden, the arena was originally called the “Boston Madison Square Garden”, but eventually got clipped to the Boston Garden. It would eventually outlive its original namesake by some 30 years. Located on top of North Station, a train station, which is a hub for MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak trains, the Garden hosted home games for the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics, as well as rock concerts, amateur sports, boxing and wrestling cards, circuses and ice shows. It was also used as an exposition hall for political rallies such as the speech by John F. Kennedy in November, 1960. The Boston Garden was demolished in 1997, a few years after the completion of its new successor arena, the FleetCenter, which is now known as TD Garden. Tex Rickard built the arena specifically with boxing in mind, believing that every seat should be close enough to see the “sweat on the boxers’ brows.” Because of this design theme, when the larger hockey and basketball playing areas were used, fans were much closer to the players than in most arenas, leading to a distinct hometown advantage. The closeness also created spectacular acoustic effects. When teams made playoff appearances, and a sold out crowd was chanting or screaming, the impact was enormous. During the 1980s, the Boston Garden was known as the most difficult sporting venue for visiting sports team to visit. The Boston Celtics dominance at home, especially during the mid-80s … More: |

Hc Lugano $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Hockey Club Lugano was founded in the course of the 1940/1941 season when, on the small lake of Muzzano, the first games were played against the “cousins” of Ambrì and against the improvised teams of Muzzano, Massagno and Paradiso. But the club’s actual setting-up takes place on 11 February 1941, during a meeting in the small lounge of the Apollo restaurant. Among the founding partners there are Antonio Caslani, the Arrigo brothers, Ivo Badaracco, Bruno Soldini, Dino Bernardoni, Ivo Molina, Renato Crivelli, Guido Keller, Tullio Visani, Pepi Paulon, Livio Balmelli, Renato Paganetti, Kurt Tritten, Ezio Bernasconi, Bobo Trachsel and Alfonso Weber. The last-named is elected president, also because, being a player in the Football Club Lugano, he can guarantee the jerseys for the team. Seven years after its foundation, the team abandons the small lake of Muzzano and goes to the Loreto quarter. This change is certainly beneficial and is a good opportunity to make the hockey game gradually known in the neighbourhood. In Loreto, the first real games of puck on ice are played, with the appearance of those who will become world champions: the Canadians of Mercury. The game of hockey starts getting a footing; however, the civic authorities keep considering Lugano as, basically, a football city. All the efforts of the president-of-presidents Luigi Bellasi come to nothing. In fact, the lack of political support causes the club’s eviction from Loreto, too. In 1955, after loads of ups and downs, the Lugano club plays a few games on what functioned as tennis courts in summer, i.e. the tennis courts of the Münger bakery in Paradiso. This was possible thanks to two great promoters of the black-and-white family: Cuccio Viglezio and Guido Keller. Still in t… More: |

Excerpt: Rendez-vous ’87 was an ice hockey exhibition series between the Soviet national ice hockey team and a team of All-Stars from the National Hockey League, held in Quebec City. It replaced the NHL’s All-Star festivities for the 198687 NHL season. The Soviet team was paid $80,000 for their appearance in Rendez-vous ’87, while the NHLers raised $350,000 for the players’ pension fund. Rendez-vous ’87 was designed as a follow-up to the Challenge Cup series in 1979, hoping that the team of NHL All-Stars could beat the Soviet team, unlike before. To this end, the series was a two-game affair instead of a three-game affair in 1979. The two-game series took place during five days of festivities starting on February 9, 1987 and finishing on February 13. The series was very successful, with some, including Wayne Gretzky, calling for more international hockey, especially between Canada and Russia, the two top powers of hockey at the time. The teams split the games, with the NHLers winning the first game, 4-3, followed by a Soviet 5-3 victory two nights later. While the telecasts in Canada were on CBC as usual, they were not Hockey Night in Canada productions.

Outdoor Ice Hockey Venues In The United States $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Lambeau Field, Spartan Stadium, Ralph Wilson Stadium. Excerpt: The Fens America’s Most Beloved Ballpark Fenway Park is a baseball park near Kenmore Square in Boston , Massachusetts , USA . It is also home to the Boston Red Sox. Located at 4 Yawkey Way, it has served as the home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox baseball club since it opened in 1912, and is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium currently in use. It is the only one of the original standards ballparks that is still in use. It is also the oldest venue used by a professional sports team in the United States. Because of the ballpark’s age and constrained location in an urban neighborhood next to Boston University ‘s large campus, the park has had many renovations and additions over the years not initially envisioned, resulting in unique, quirky features, including “the Triangle”, “Pesky’s Pole”, and most notably the famous Green Monster in left field. Fenway Park is renowned for hosting dedicated Red Sox fans, collectively called “Red Sox Nation “. Every Red Sox home game since May 15, 2003, has sold out; in 2008, the park sold out its 456th consecutive Red Sox game, breaking a Major League record. Fenway Park has also been the site of many other sporting and cultural events, including professional football games for the Boston Redskins and the Boston Patriots , concerts, hockey games, and political campaigns.
