1924-25 Boston Bruins Game Worn Sweater from First NHL Season. One of the most historically important and desirable hockey artifacts ever to reach the public auction block, the presented brown wool sweater is believed to be the only surviving representation from the 1924-25 Boston Bruins, a team that holds the distinction of being the first NHL club to play its home games south of the Canadian border. Though that debut season for the Boston Bruins was not a particularly auspicious one, the team claiming just six victories in thirty contests, the supreme relevance of the offered lot is impossible to dispute. The start of the United States’ participation in the world’s most noteworthy professional hockey league began with this very uniform top. Heritage Auctions.
The Boston Globe almost overlooked the Bruins’ first game ever.
