Ever wonder were your favorite team got it's name ?

A woman from Montreal gets the credit for naming the BRUINS My favorite team ..

Bessie Moss , a Canadian , was secretary to Art Ross Bostons first general manager . in 1924 Charles Adams purchased the first American NHL franchise and selected Ross to be the GM . Ross and Adams then had the task of selecting a nickname and colors . Miss Moss handled all the correspondence between the two pertaining to the subject . The two men had no trouble selecting the color's , brown and gold were chosen as that was the color of the store-front's on Adam's chain of grocery stores , but they could not come up with a name . When Miss Moss learned that the main color was going to be brown she suggested the team be named the Bruins ,
Adams and Ross liked the name and the rest is history !!
Many years later the team would drop the color brown and adopt gold black and white as the official team color ...

A lot of PPL don't know the Bruins were the first American team to join the NHL ....

They also had a famous line called the "KRAUT LINE" !! it was made up of Bobby Bauer/Milt Schmidt/WoodyDumart ....
