  • 1989 NFHL Season Preview
    1989 NFHL Season Preview With the 1970s a distant memory and the 1980s soon to follow, the NFHL is getting ready to kick of its 19th season. Back in 1970, it was announced that a new professional hockey league would be opening its doors, and in 1971 the first league champion was crowned, with the St. Louis Blues bringing home the inaugural SMJ Cup. Back then, there were only 16 franchises, and the regular season was a mere 60 games long. Now, nearly two decades later, and with a vastly different landscape, the NFHL is finish off the 80s and move into their 3rd decade of play. The league has now expanded four different times, up to 24 teams, and the regular season has lengthened by 25%, while the playoffs now require 16 victories, rather than 12. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves thinking about the 1990s, it’s time to break down the upcoming 1989 season, where the Montreal Canadiens seek to become the first ever three-peat champion in NFHL history. 1 New York Islanders 2 Philadelphia Flyers 3 New York Rangers 4 New Jersey Devils 5 Pittsburgh Penguins 6 Washington Capitals The cream of the crop. The Gold Standard. The most dominant team in NFHL history. For nearly two full decades, the New York Islanders, previously the California Golden Seals, have been atop the standings, while bringing home four SMJ Cups. In many ways, 1988 was a pivotal season for the Islanders. It’s no secret that the team has been getting older, and the core has stayed the same for years.

  • The Demolition of Boston Garden: an Examination of Sports Stadia in Historic Preservation
    THE DEMOLITION OF BOSTON GARDEN: AN EXAMINATION OF SPORTS STADIA IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Michael LaFlash May 2019 © 2019 Michael LaFlash ABSTRACT The closing and subsequent demolition of Boston Garden in 1995 marked the end of an era in a city steeped in history. Boston, Massachusetts is a place that proudly displays its colonial-era and 19th-century architecture interspersed amongst a 21st-century cityscape. Often overlooked, however, is the city’s iconic 20th-century structures, whose impact on the cultural identity of the city rival that of its predecessors. It was in this vein that Boston Garden saw a massive push for redevelopment, resulting in the creation of the FleetCenter, today known as TD Garden. The following discussion is an historical case study of a 20th-century Boston sporting venue that was demolished and redeveloped. The life and death of Boston Garden, former home of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League and Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association, among many other sports teams and functions outside of sports, provides an in-depth look into the world of historic preservation, and why specific buildings are or are not preserved. An extensive look at Boston Garden perfectly displays the complexities behind large- scale, real-estate development, and the role individual ownership groups, city officials, the current political environment, and many other factors have on the decision-making process. Boston Garden arose as the city’s preeminent sporting and exhibition hall during a time that citizens, politicians, and decision makers longed for progress and acceptance as a 20th- century American city.
