This Day in Boston History
March 29th, 1929

B's Get The Cup

On this day, the Boston Bruins beat the New York Rangers to bring home the Stanley Cup for the first time. It was the team's first season playing in the brand new Boston Garden.

Pictured here is the "Dynamite Line" of 1929 who lead the team to the championship -- Cooney Weiland, Dit Clapper, and Dutch Gainor .


		England's Prime Minister never expected this tea tax to cause an outcry, let alone revolution. In 1767, England reduced its property taxes at home. To balance the national budget they needed to find a mechanism for the American colonies to pay for the expense of stationing officials in them. The officials would generate their own revenue by collecting taxes on all imported goods, and once paid affixing stamps on them. This Stamp Tax generated more in the way of protests and smuggling than added revenue.		Religion. Politics. Rebellion. Boston’s pedigree was forged back in England in the midst of religious dissension, where Puritans and Pilgrims sought religious reform, and Cavaliers and Roundheads vied for political power. The question isn't where did Boston get its name – but how.
