Los Angeles Bruins (ice hockey)

The Los Angeles Bruins were a semi-professional ice hockey team from Burbank. Originally located in Bakersfield, the club was a founding member of the Pacific Southwest Hockey League and played for nearly 2 decades.

History
As the Bakersfield Bruins, the franchise won the California-Nevada Hockey League championship in 1970. That summer, the team relocated to Burbank and remained there for the rest of its existence. after the league rebranded as the Pacific Southwest Hockey League, Los Angeles was regularly one of the two best teams in the league, competing with the Fresno Falcons for PSHL supremacy. Unfortunately, the team was never stable financially. Despite the existence of the Los Angeles Kings, the LA market was never too keen on hockey while the Bruins were around. Most of the Bruins games were open to the public for free but paired with other events such as Roller derby. The Bruins were able to hold on until 1988, winning their seventh league championship before folding for good.
