On Ice
EDDIE SHORE AND ADAMS, BOSTON GARDEN, 1934-35. Leslie Jones Collection, BPL Print Department.
Hockey player Eddie Shore and team owner Charles F. Adams are shown in Adams’s office at the Garden. Adams owned both the Bruins and the Boston Braves, and—as the horses decorating his office hint—headed the racing syndicate that founded Suffolk Downs.
The "Big Bad" Bruins professional hockey team moved from the Boston Arena to the Garden in its inaugural year. They played their first game on the new ice on November 20, 1928, before a standing-room-only crowd of 16,000 fans.
