Hockey Prompt - Written Task (153 words)
I have always been fascinated with hockey history as a fan of the Boston Bruins, an Original Six team. In addition to the legacy of being an Original Six franchise, the Bruins are the oldest American team in the NHL. On November 1st 1924, for a rumored $15,000, the National Hockey League welcomed Boston to the league. The owner that purchased the team, Charles Adams, was an owner of a local grocery store chain. The store’s colors were brown and yellow, which carried over to the iconic black and gold Bruin color scheme. The Bruins became a fixture of Boston’s culture, and the hard-working people of Boston flocked to the Garden to watch the Bruins play at the old Boston Garden. The Boston Garden was, in truth, an absolute dump. It had differing dimensions than other arenas and a significant amount of seats in places where you couldn’t even see the playing surface.
