[edit] History
In the 2001-2002 season, the Providence Bruins contracted with then-13-year-old local musician Ben Schwartz to work as the official organist at all home games. As a result, Schwartz, now 18 and in his sixth season with the team, is the youngest organist to ever work for a professional North American sports franchise in history.[1][2]
The franchise was previously known as:
- Maine Mariners (1977-1992)
This market was previously served by:
- Providence Reds (1926-1977)
