in 1982, to the Patriots squishing the fish in Miami to
advance to Super Bowl XX and Robert Krafts purchase of the
Patriots on Jan. 21, 1994, take a trip down memory lane.
BASKETBALL
Boston
Celtics The 1975-76 Celtics were a team expected
to excite, and they certainly didn't disappoint, providing
fans of the Green and White with what is now called by many
"The Greatest Game Ever Played" -- a 3OT win over Phoenix
in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Celtics celebrate that game
with this special section.
HOCKEY
Boston
Bruins Since the team's first season of NHL action
in 1924, many players, coaches, and general managers have
pledged their loyalty to the black and gold. In doing so they
have made their mark on Boston Bruins' history. Over the years,
nine players have been honored by having their numbers taken
out of circulation, and five teams have earned the right to
skate with the Stanley Cup.
Providence
Bruins The Providence Bruins and Hartford Wolf
Pack wrapped up their 10-game season series on Wednesday night
in Hartford, with the Bruins skating to a 3-2 victory. The
Bruins, who have clinched the North Division title and at
least the second seed in the Eastern Conference, are 44-18-10-5
(103 points) on the season. Providence fired a team season-high
23 shots on goal in the second period of the contest.

as a professional producing organization and a theatrical
training conservatory. In its twenty-second season operating
in association with Harvard University, the Theatre draws

Huntington Theatre Company The resident Huntington Theatre
Company has staged the groundbreaking work of playwrights
like August Wilson and revived classics like Sidney Kingsleys
drama "Dead End." However, steer clear of troublesome balcony
seating if you want to enjoy these impressive acts.
Wang
Theatre Wang Theatre offers clear sight lines,
amazing acoustics, masses of marble, velvet, brass, and leather
make the entire Wang experience a pleasure. The theater tries
to keep some lower cost seats for every performance, and you
can often score a ticket to a big Broadway show for under
$20. However, those sitting in the lofty balcony run the risk
of being sucked out of their seats into the vacuum of the
Wang's space.
LOCAL CASINO'S
Mohegan
Sun On Mohegan Sun Boulevard, and at the north
entrance to the casino, you will find Mohegan Sun rocks. In
the Mohegan language, "sun" means "rock." Traditionally, our
leaders are called either Sunjum (Sachem), which signifies
a male head chief, or Sunqsquaw, which signifies a female
chief. Sunjum and Sunqsquaw translate to mean "rock man" and
"rock woman." The word "Mohegan" means "Wolf People." Our
Tribe is the ancient Wolf Clan of the Lenni Lenape Indians
who traveled from the Southwest to the Northeast across a
Great Fresh Water and a Great Desert to reach Upstate New
York.
Foxwoods Casino
The symbol of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation is a reflection
of the past. The tree, perched on a rocky knoll and framed
against a clear sky, represents Mashantucket, the "much wooded
land" where the people hunted and prospered.
