A Day of Hockey

  Today we are looking at some the record Hockey games that were played on December 15. 
  We start with a game played on December 15, 1924 at the Boston Garden in where else but Boston. The Bruins were playing in only their fifth franchise game and their third home game. Unfortunately for the Bruins, the visitors the Ottawa Senators made themselves at home taking a 10-2 game from the home club. The Bruins record was dropped to 1-4. The Bruins would not win their second game until January 10 in Montreal, a 10 game losing streak.
   We now fast forward to December 15, 1981 with the New York Islanders hosting the Quebec Nordiques. The Islanders won a squeaker by a score of 10-7.
   We now go on to December 15, 1990 and the East Coast Hockey League. The Erie Panthers beat the Roanoke Valley Rebels 12-4.  
   Teams that scored 10 goals or more are not the only hockey stats documented here. On December 15, 1995 Deron T. Quint of the Winnipeg Jets scored two goals in 4 seconds during the second period in the Jets 9-4 win over the Edmondton Oilers.
    On a slew of games on December 15, 2007 makes me think it was National Goalies Take the Day Off in the minors. At the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League scored a 10-2 win over the Iowa Stars. At the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico the New Mexico Scorpions of the Central Hockey League scored a 10-3 win over the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees. At the S & T Bank Arena in Indiana, Pennsylvania the Indiana Ice Miners of the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League scored a 10-0 win over the Jamestown Vikings.
   Tommorrow we will look at how Baseball spends its offseason. Have a great day and dont forget to read the Sports page, where history is upfolding as you read this.
