In the beginning, the Boston Bruins were a rough tribe of Canadian tradesmen seeking their fortune with the first American team in the fledgling National Hockey League. When the Bruins played their first game in 1924, hockey was already a staple of the Boston sports scene. It was the prospect of attracting the capacity crowds that supported Bostonís local club and college teams that lured Charles F. Adams to invest in the franchise. ÝÝThe Bruins were both an outgrowth of local tradition and a manifestation of the ambitions of the NHL. Their roster has included the likes of Eddie Shore, ìDitî Clapper, and the greatest player of all time, Bobby Orr. The photographs in The Bruins in Black and White: 1924ñ1966, the first of a two-volume illustrated history, document the success of Charles F. Adamsís investment and the achievements of players who proudly wore the Bruins colors. Their passion, commitment, and love of the game are evident on every page. ÝÝ
