Weston Adams

Weston Adams (August 9, 1904 - March 19, 1973) was a son of Charles Adams and was first director of the Boston Bruins and in 1932 became president of the Canadian American Hockey League farm team Boston Tigers . Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, he became president of the Boston Bruins in 1936. Adams was also involved with other sports, as secretary to the National League's Boston Braves.

While Adams was president of the Bruins, the team finished first in the NHL American Division from 1937-38 season to the 1940-41 regular season. As World War 2 commenced, he joined the US Army as a naval commander. The team began to get worse over this time and when Adams came back he started scouting throughout North America and later became the team chairman of the board in 1956. He became president of the Bruins in 1964 until 1969, during a time which the team drafted such players as Bobby Orr, Wayne Cashman , Dallas Smith , Don Awrey , Don Marcotte , Derek Sanderson and Eddie Westfall . He also developed the concept of the sixth attacker and secured the relationship between the AHL Boston Braves due to the AHL's loss of many players to the expanding NHL. He then retired as chairman after he felt this relationship had become solidified.

Adams stepped down as president in 1970 replaced by his son Weston Adams, Jr. .

Weston was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.
