The Boston Bruins are a historic professional ice hockey team, founded in 1924, making them the oldest NHL team in the United States and a foundational member of the league's "Original Six." Competing in the NHL's Atlantic Division, they boast a proud record of six Stanley Cup championships—tied for the second-most among U.S.-based teams—and four Presidents' Trophies, including an NHL-record 135 points in their 2022–23 season.
The team's origins trace back to grocery magnate Charles Adams, who hired innovator Art Ross as general manager; the Bruins would go on to win the first-ever NHL game played on U.S. soil on December 1, 1924. They secured their first Stanley Cup in 1929 while playing at the iconic Boston Garden, which served as their home for 67 seasons. Throughout their tenure, the Bruins have featured legendary players like defenseman Eddie Shore and set records such as the NHL's best-ever regular season winning percentage (.875) in 1929–30, continuing their legacy at the current TD Garden.
