The team has been in existence since 1924, and is the league's third-oldest team and its oldest in the United States. They are also an Original Six team, along with the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks. Boston has the second highest total of Stanley Cup championships won by an American team at six, behind the Detroit Red Wings with 11. Their home arena is the TD Garden, where they have played since 1995 after the closure of the Boston Garden (which had been their home since 1928). On Wednesday, June 15, 2011, the Boston Bruins became the reigning Stanley Cup champions by defeating the Vancouver Canucks in seven games in the Stanley Cup Finals, their first Stanley Cup championship since 1972. |
