Boston Braves The Boston Braves were a professional team in Boston , Massachusetts . They were a member of the American Hockey League from 1971 to 1974 . The early 1970s saw an unprecedented boom in the popularity of hockey in the Boston area , fuelled by the success of the Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito - led Boston Bruins . The Bruins had sold out all of their home games at the Boston Garden for years , and the team owners thought that placing their minor - league affiliate in the same arena , made sense on several levels . Previously , the Bruins affiliate was the Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League . The team was named after the National League baseball team that had played in Boston until 1953 — which had been owned by Charles F . Adams , founder of the Bruins , during the 1920s . The first season of the AHL Braves , under coach Bep Guidolin , was wildly successful . Behind a powerful club led by future big league stars Dan Bouchard and Rich Leduc , and with other veteran minor - leaguers and future NHL players such as Doug Roberts , Ross Brooks , Nick Beverley , Garry Peters and Don Tannahill , the club tied for first place in its division with the powerful Nova Scotia Voyageurs with a 41 - 21 - 14 mark , while proving popular enough in Boston to set league records for single - game and single - season attendance that survived for decades . In its second season , however , competition from the WHA ' s New England Whalers served to saturate the market . Furthermore , NHL expansion cost the team its best player , Bouchard , who had been picked by the Atlanta Flames , while WHA defections caused the recall of Brooks to the parent club and Roberts and Peters to the rival league . While scoring declined only slightly , the defense was notably poorer . The team still finished second in the division with a 34 - 29 - 13 mark , but attendance had nearly halved . In the Braves ' third and final season , the defense collapsed to the point where the team finished out of the playoffs after a 23 - 40 - 13 record . With attendance dwindling further and the ebbing of the hockey boom itself in New England , Bruins ' management decided to suspend the team ; the next season saw the Bruins affiliating with the Rochester Americans . The Bruins maintained the franchise ' s existence for many years , paying a nominal fee to the league to keep it dormant , finally selling its rights to the Winnipeg Jets in 1987 so that the Jets could move it to the Maritimes to become the Moncton Hawks .

The 1925 – 26 Millers also provided other players to the NHL in the future , including Cooney Weiland and Tiny Thompson , Paul Thompson ' s brother . However , before the season started , Smythe was fired by the club and Lester Patrick took over from Smythe . Patrick received the job as part of the dispersal agreement of the WHL . His brother Frank received a job at the Boston Bruins . Smythe would eventually receive a $ 10 , 000 severance , a large amount in those days . Playoffs . The Rangers by their placing earned a bye in the first round and met the Boston Bruins in the semi - final . The Rangers were limited to one goal in the two games , losing the series by three goals to one . New York Rangers vs . Boston Bruins " Boston wins total - goals series 3 – 1 " Player stats .

The first Canpro league ( 1926 - 1929 ) . The initial meeting to organize a new league was held on June 27 , 1926 in Hamilton , Ontario . The governing body for amateur hockey in Ontario , the Ontario Hockey Association , had been cracking down on teams that induced players to move from other areas in violation of the league ' s residency requirements . In mid - June , the OHA refused to certify over 20 players who had changed residences . Windsor alone had eight players who were denied OHA certification . In response , and also driven by the recent expansion of professional hockey in North America , seven OHA senior teams met to discuss forming a minor professional league that would be affiliated with the National Hockey League . Brantford and Toronto were at the initial meeting , but had to bow out , and the remaining five teams became the inaugural members of the CPHL : Hamilton , London , Niagara Falls , Stratford and Windsor . Charles King of Windsor was made league president on August 4 and served in that role for all three seasons the CPHL operated . After the 1927 - 28 season , all the players on the Hamilton Tigers were purchased by the new Buffalo Bisons , and an entirely new team played in Hamilton . Teddy Oke ' s Kitchener Millionaires moved to Toronto to take the place of the Toronto Ravinas which disbanded in 1928 . Oke sold the franchise rights to Kitchener to a new owner , who created the Kitchener Flying Dutchmen . The team included players from the Millionaires that did not move to Toronto . The league championship in 1929 was a cross - border matchup between the Windsor Bulldogs and the Detroit Olympics , with Windsor winning the championship . Five of the eight teams had lost money during the season , including all the Canadian teams except the Bulldogs . Before the 1929 playoffs were over , it was rumoured that the league would be replaced by an international league the following season and that a lower - level minor league would be created in Ontario . The league held its annual meeting in September 1929 , re - elected King as president , and renamed itself the International Hockey League . The only change in the lineup was that the Kitchener franchise was transferred to Cleveland , Ohio , with the Kitchener players reassigned to Toronto and Toronto ' s players sent to Cleveland .

Ted Saskin Ted Saskin is the former NHL Players Association executive director . He assumed the title after Bob Goodenow resigned on July 28 , 2005 , but was unanimously fired by the NHLPA on May 10 , 2007 , after a union - commissioned report concluded Saskin had quarterbacked a campaign to hack into player email accounts . Saskin had previously served as NHLPA Senior Director of Business Affairs and Licensing since 1992 , as one of Goodenow ' s new deputies when the latter assumed the role of executive director after the forced resignation of Alan Eagleson . Saskin was credited with taking a more conciliatory approach to collective bargaining agreement negotiations , compared to the hard - line stance of Goodenow , which ended the 2004 – 05 NHL lockout . Saskin was widely seen as the heir - apparent to Goodenow and initially touted as a successor due to his knowledge of the CBA , so he became NHLPA Executive Director in 2005 after Goodenow was forced to step down . However , Saskin ' s hiring came under scrutiny from some players who felt that he was improperly elected and misrepresented salary figures during negotiations with players union president Trevor Linden , a forward with the Vancouver Canucks . On October 2 , 2006 , a group of NHL players , led by Chris Chelios filed a lawsuit in US Federal Court to remove Saskin and also millions of dollars in damages and punitive damages . Eventually the lawsuit was dismissed by a judge who ruled that because the NHLPA is based in Toronto , Ontario , that is the appropriate venue for the case . In 2007 , Saskin and other union executives came under fire for allegedly inappropriately accessing the private email accounts of players and agents who have challenged his hiring . On March 11 , 2007 , Saskin was placed on a paid leave of absence from his position as NHLPA executive director , before being let go on May 10 . Saskin , who was in the second year of a five - year contract reportedly worth $ 10 million US , reportedly received nearly $ 750 , 000 US in accrued vacation pay and union shares .
