Английская Википедия:1924–25 Boston Bruins season
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox ice hockey team season The 1924–25 Boston Bruins season was the team's first in the National Hockey League (NHL). 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.

Offseason
In 1924,[1] Charles Adams, the magnate who owned the First National grocery chain, obtained an NHL expansion franchise for Boston. The approval was finalized on October 13, 1924, for Шаблон:USD, making the Bruins the first NHL team to be based in the United States. Adams' first act was to hire Art Ross, a former star player and innovator, as general manager and coach.
Ross nicknamed the team "Bruins", which also went along with the team's original uniform colors of brown and yellow, which came from Adams' grocery chain.Шаблон:Sfn[2] Most of the Bruins' players for its inaugural season were signed from the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and the Western Canada Hockey League.Шаблон:Sfn The first player to sign for the Bruins was defenseman Herb Mitchell, who signed for the Bruins on November 2, 1924.Шаблон:Sfn
The Bruins first saw action in an exhibition game against the Saskatoon Sheiks of the Western Canada Hockey League on November 29, which was then Thanksgiving; it was the first professional match held in Boston Arena.[3] Boston lost the game 2–1.
Subsequently, leaks in the Arena's cooling system forced the team to practice in Montreal in the runup to the season opener.[4]
Regular season
Despite problems with the ice plant that threatened the home opener [5] the Bruins started the season out auspiciously, defeating their fellow expansion Maroons squad in a nearly empty 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.Шаблон:Sfn It was the first NHL game played in the United States.[6] The game was broadcast by radio station WBZ, with play-by-play by the Boston Traveler's Frank Ryan.Шаблон:Sfn Since the crowd failed to meet expectations, the Bruins dropped prices to Шаблон:USD for a reserved seat and Шаблон:USD for standing room.Шаблон:Sfn
However, Boston lost its next eleven games, as well as having a seven-game losing streak — which included their second home game on December 8, initiating the Bruins' most intense rivalry over time[7] — 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.Шаблон:Sfn
The signing of senior league star netminder Doc Stewart and the purchase of Lionel Hitchman helped somewhat, but the team was riddled with injuries, and only Jimmy Herbert and Carson Cooper (who spent much of the season hurt) showed any offensive flair. The team's winning percentage of .200 was the second worst in league history to that date, and remains the tenth worst in NHL history.Шаблон:Sfn
The Bruins' debut season home games were played in the only "debut" rink of any of the Original Six NHL teams that has survived into the 21st century — Boston Arena, the world's oldest indoor multi-sports facility that is still used for ice hockey at any level of competition.[8][9]
