 Photos By Nora Lewis; And From The Grist 1954
The University dedicated the Bradford R. Boss Arena on Sunday, September 8, 2002, when its number one fan declared that the “Kingston Ice Age has begun.” The 2,500-seat, $12 million arena, named in honor of Bradford R. Boss ’55, Hon. ’82, one of the founders of the URI men’s hockey club in 1951, opened officially when Boss laced up his skates, to become the first to glide across its surface. Hundreds of supporters applauded this long-time supporter of URI and chairman emeritus of A.T. Cross. The Arena opened for business on September 15. Joining Brad Boss, next to Governor Lincoln Almond ’59, are members of the original URI ice hockey team; President Carothers and Sally Dowling of the Board of Governors of Higher Education are on the far left. Members of the current men’s and women’s hockey teams are standing in the background.
