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.
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.
