Tonight will the 71st venue I have seen the Bruins play a regular season game.

[Fenway]

I don't know who has the record but I have to be close. This includes former arenas, outdoor venues and neutral site games.

I am not even including the 2 arenas in China that were preseason games.

Richdale, Ohio, Cow Palace, Oakland, Providence, Springfield, Prague, Greensboro, NC and it has been a journey.

Mullett Arena will be the smallest not counting Lake Tahoe which had no fans.

Regular season and playoff games only correct?

Yes - I am not counting the games in China

Ok. I remember exhibition games in Ontario in the early 70's that were held in smaller arenas than Mullet Arena. Should have known though. If you counted them you'd be well over 100

BTW I am assuming you started work when you were 3 and did those games LOL.

Honestly Dude thats a milestone to be proud of.

@DominicT

The venue I miss the most is Colisée de Québec - incredible atmosphere.

The old barns - Forum de Montreal and Chicago Stadium were incredible venues as were the Buffalo Aud and the Philly Spectrum.

Maple Leaf Gardens just had an odd vibe to it. I did see a game at MSG III but it was not a good afternoon to be a Bruins fan.

The game I saw in Richfield was memorable as there was a massive lake-effect snow event.

Today the location of that arena is a national park

Former Coliseum Property - Cuyahoga Valley National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

You have me beat. I was at the two in Prague.

 

[Bruinaura]

I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on Mullett

 

[sooshii]

That’s amazing Kevin. Congrats!
Thanks for all you do to bring the games to my living room!

The Bruins played in Saskatoon in 2013 in a pre-season game. Not sure the game was Broadcast, were you here? @Fenway

Way to go Fenway. That’s an accomplishment. Lots of miles traveled.

I know it has been mentioned on this board in the past, but I really do hope you write a book at some point -- history, stories, anecdotes, behind the scenes information, observations about various arenas/towns/restaurants/etc, views on the game of hockey and how it has changed, and on and on. It would be a hit with Bs fans and hockey fans in general.

If you don't already Fenway, a cool memento piece at your house would be a wall or room dedicated to these places and something of note from each arena. What a journey you've been on!

That is such a great achievement. Congratualtions

What are your top 5 favorite venues, and why?

 

[LSCII]

@Fenway of the 71 facilities you've been to, what was your favorite aside from the old or new garden?

 

[NeelyDan]

This is truly stunning.

 

[Fenway]

@Fenway of the 71 facilities you've been to, what was your favorite aside from the old or new garden?

Toss up between Montreal Forum or Chicago Stadium

 

[NeelyDan]

Maple Leaf Gardens rank?

 

[Fenway]

Maple Leaf Gardens rank?

MLG was overrated - The old Aud in Buffalo and the Spectrum in Philly much better

 

[McGarnagle]

Toss up between Montreal Forum or Chicago Stadium

Least favorite?

 

[DominicT]

Toss up between Montreal Forum or Chicago Stadium

I've been to all the original 6 arenas. I remember the old Olympia arena in Detroit. It is where I fell in love with the game thanks to Gordie Howe. For that reason it is my second d favorite next to the Forum in Montreal. That place was special.

Where does the Olympia rank for you?

 

[JayMark]

Did you keep all of the ticket stubs?

 

[Gee Wally]

That is amazing! You should write a book, I'll buy it!

Ive been telling him this for years.

Along with his years of driving a cab. Fascinating stuff.

That is the one I never saw a game in but did get inside and got a swine flu shot there in 1976

It was very similar to Boston Garden
