That's a fantastic find.

Note that this was about a year before pro hockey arrived in California -- so there are no boards around the rink yet!

I wonder why some of the players have a big "W" as their crest?

My first thought was of the Windsor Bulldogs, who played during the same era. But it seems unthinkable that someone would go to the extent of making a framed collage with patch, and get the teams mixed up...

You learn something everyday. Actually the first place where I did see the first picture is in Finnish newspaper from 1928. It seems like a real picture but there was lot of "photoshopping" going on so can´t say 100% sure. It´s a legendary band leader Paul Whiteman in Rangers uniform. The second picture is Paul Whiteman giving a a "Paul Whiteman trophy" to Ace Bailey as leading goal scorer in NHL after 1928-1929. Never before heard about there being a trophy given to a leading scorer before Rocket Richard trophy. Though apparently it was one year thing.

If anybody on here has a photo of the Arena the Newark Bulldogs played in please post.

It was built as the Palace Ballroom in 1912 and converted to an Artificial Ice Rink by 1917 called the
"Newark Ice Palace".

I see that a lot of photos are being re-posted at this point.
I have already posted the Bobby Orr, the Mats Sundin, The Mario Lemieux and the Paul Whiteman photos to name a few of those posted lately. But I guess it is impossible to keep track of them all at this point. But keep 'em coming ! and don't be afraid to post more than one photo at a time.

I found some further information about the rink below.

What the building looks like today.

Also this...

"After his retirement, Sprague Cleghorn took to coaching. He first found a job with the Newark Bulldogs of the Canadian-American Hockey League (CAHL) where he acted as a player-manager from 1928 to 1929. During his time with Newark, Cleghorn acquired his former Montreal teammate, Billy Coutu, to play for the team for the season as his defensive partner. A newspaper at the time stated that the move "reunited the most formidable defence that ever played hockey".

The previous rink I posted called the "Newark Ice Palace" indeed held Hockey Games in it as shown below.

Then later on another rink called the " Newark Auditorium" was built in 1928.The rink was not fit to play in at the time so they played all their games on the road at the Springfield Eastern States Coliseum, the Philadelphia Ice Palace, and the Rhode Island Auditorium.

But granted that Paul Whiteman picture only appeared five pages ago so I could have checked that. But I´m not that much of site regular and I was bit tipsy when I posted it. (Yes that is what I do when I´m tipsy. Post on Hockey history forum )

I managed to find a photo of the Newark Garden Arena and an article about it. The article appeared in the September 12, 1954 edition of the Newark Star-Ledger. It appears the arena was never built.

That's right. The Bulldogs came into existence with the expectation that the Arena would be available near the beginning of the 1928-29 season. Construction delays (welcome to Newark) made the building unavailable for the entirety of that season. Without ice availability anywhere nearby (MSG was running two teams already), they chose to play as a road team. This was not an entirely uncommon situation for the era -- the Black Hawks ended up playing half their schedule as a road team that season.

A whole year later, the building still wasn't finished in time for the opening of 1929-30. At that point the Bulldogs disbanded and sold off their players to other clubs to try and re-coup some of their losses. And just a couple of weeks later, global events took a turn that would make arena-building a difficult proposition for an entire generation.

New Jersey ended up being represented by a handful of teams in Atlantic City and Cherry Hill, but it wasn't till 50+ years later when the Colorado Rockies landed at the new Meadowlands arena that pro hockey came back to the Newark area.

Hockey has always been violent, even when they lampoon it.
