Charles F. Adams was a successful New England businessman who went on to found the Boston Bruins in 1924, the first American franchise in the National Hockey League. He made a risky financial commitment in 1926 to bolstered the Bruins roster by purchasing the entire Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) for $300,000. He also was instrumental in the building of the Boston Garden, one of the nation's venerable sports venues, opening the building in 1928. A year later the team won its first Stanley Cup championship, the first of three under Adams until his death in 1947.
Archie Wilcox played pro hockey from 1926 until 1935 starting in the Can-Am League. The 1929-30 season saw Wilcox join the Montreal Maroons of the NHL. He played a full 40-game season his first 2 seasons followed by 48 and 47 games in the next two years. Part way through the 1933-34 campaign, Wilcox was traded to the Boston Bruins and managed a single assist in 14 games with the Bruins. In 1934-35 Wilcox suited up for eight games with the NHL's St. Louis Eagles but was held pointless and retired after the season.
