Owner Adams directed his general manager Ross to come up with a nickname that would portray an untamed animal displaying speed, agility, and cunning. Ross came up with "Bruins", an Old English word used for brown bears in classic folk-tales. The team's bearlike nickname also went along with the team's original uniform colors of brown and yellow, which came from Adams' grocery chain, First National Stores.[

mostley the stuff hockey players wear today except less protective. They also used wooden sticks [of course] and they didn't wear helmets or mouthgards.

If you mean tallest it would be Bruins with Chara

If you mean strongest it would be Wigs with Kronwall

If you mean best it is an opinion but I say Pens

Jackie Moore - La Salle University

The best college hockey player was Tommy Ross from Michigan State. The Michigan born forward was fast, small and agile. He played for MSU from 73-77 and all Division 1 hockey scoring records. Unfortunately his small stature did not help his quest for the NHL. Tommy currently resides in the Detroit area where he coaches in a youth hockey program. Unless you're talking about goalies in which hands down Ken Dryden holds the title. In fact Dryden was probably better than Ross period, since Cornell only lost 4 times (twice in the frozen four) in the three years he started for Cornell and never finished lower than 3rd in the country. Also you could say Hobey Baker, but its probably Dryden.

Ice hockey is a game played on an ice rink by two teams of six players on skates.

The object is to drive a puck (a small, hard rubber disk) into the opponents' goal with a hockey stick while avoiding being hit, or checked, by opposing players.

Field hockey balls are commonly white; this is the requirement for international matches. Other grades may use orange, and practise balls can be obtained that are white, yellow, orange, pink, purple and several other colours.

An ice or road hockey ball is typically high-visibility orange.

The object is having fun and making something inspirational out of yourself. You might not feel the strong feeling I feel when I skate, but everybody can do it. I am only nine years old and I have a dream of being a figure skater. The object is faith, confidence and lots of fun.

Niklas Lidstrom is the first European born captqain to win the Stanley cup.
