During the 1940-41 Boston won the Stanley Cup. Bruce was called up from the minors to played 8 regular season games, and 2 playoffs games for the winning team. Bruce qualified to be engraved on the Stanley Cup, but for some reason Boston Bruins choose to leave his name off.
As a member of the Sudbury Wolves he helped Canada win the 1938 World Ice Hockey Championships by scoring 3 goals and 2 assist in 7 games.
Famous quotes containing the word bruce:
“Today’s comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an “act” and he told the audience, “This is my act.” Today’s comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he’s telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
