neg: London Ice House The London Ice House was an arena in London , Ontario , Canada . It was originally built in 1963 and was home to the London Knights ice hockey team from 1965 to 2002 . The arena had a capacity of approximately 5,000 and was designed as a one level Boston Garden . The arena was originally named Treasure Island Gardens as the building was a part of the Treasure Island Plaza mall complex located in south London . The arena also included a second ice pad but was eventually closed .   In 1994 , the London Knights and the building were purchased by new owner Doug Tarry , who renamed building as the London Ice House . Tarry upgraded the building in 1994 , including replacing the seats on the sides and adding more emergency exits to bring the building up to the fire code , but once the refurbishing was complete the team and building went downhill steadily , as Tarry preferred to allow the building to deteriorate as part of his lobbying the city for a new arena , given that they were the only team in the OHL who owned their own building without municipal assistance and taxes in excess of $ 125,000 per year in 1999 . The team was sold as the city warmed up to building a new facility . The London Knights underwent a renaissance after being purchased by Dale and Mark Hunter in a deal brokered by George Georgopoulos who was negotiating with the City for a multi-purpose entertainment centre and arena in Downtown London .   The team would leave the Gardens/Ice House after the 2001-02 season and relocate to the newly built John Labatt Centre later renamed to Budweiser Gardens on the former Talbot Block in Downtown London the following season . The last goal ever scored at the London Ice House was scored in overtime by Carlo Colaiacovo of the Erie Otters in the 2002 OHL Playoffs .   The Rolling Stones played the arena on April 26 , 1965 , but due to rioting in the audience , the show was shut down by police after only 15 minutes . Since the concert , only Bill Wyman ( from the 1965 Stones - who is no longer with the band ) returned to London and performed at the London Ice Gardens with his band in 2001 . Also , one other highlight from the concert was that former NHL player and head coach Pat Quinn promoted the event and brought the Rolling Stones to London .   Another one of the arena 's most famous moments came in February 1968 , when singer Johnny Cash proposed onstage to his longtime partner , June Carter Cash , during a concert at the building .   After the Ice House 's closure it was purchased by investors who turned it into a motocross facility called the London Motoplex ; however , the investment group were not making payments during their ownership . The ownership of the building returned to the Hunter brothers afterward . Most of the old seats and all of the hockey memorabilia was sold at auction . The 1994-era seats were purchased by the Windsor Spitfires organization , who installed them at the Windsor Arena .   Since 2004 , a group of investors ( made up of business , community , and government investment ) converted the former hockey arena and motocross track into an indoor cycling track and became the Forest City Velodrome . The Forest City Velodrome Association ( a non-profit organization ) operates the races , clinics , and other activities at the track .

neg: Sports in Boston Boston , the capital city of the U.S. state of Massachusetts and largest city in the New England region of the northeastern United States , is home to several major league sports teams , including the Red Sox ( baseball ) , the Celtics ( basketball ) and the Bruins ( ice hockey ) . The New England Patriots ( American football ) and the New England Revolution ( soccer ) play at Gillette Stadium in nearby Foxborough , Massachusetts . Several Boston-area colleges and universities are also active in college athletics .   Sports are a major part of the city 's culture ( as well as the culture of the Greater Boston area ) . Boston sports fans are known for their fanatical devotion to the Red Sox and knowledge of the team 's history . Fenway Park , home of the Red Sox , is the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) and holds a legendary status among baseball fans .   Boston is the only city in professional sports in which all facilities are privately owned and operated . The Patriots own Gillette Stadium , the Red Sox own Fenway Park , and TD Garden is owned by Delaware North , owner of the Bruins . The Celtics rent TD Garden from Delaware North .   In the 2000s , Boston 's professional teams had arguably the most successful decade in sports history , winning ten championships ( five by the Patriots , three by the Red Sox and one each by the Celtics and Bruins ) . When the Bruins won the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals , the city of Boston became the first city in the 21st century to have all four of its major professional league teams win a league championship , and it is the only city ever to have championships in all four major professional leagues within a ten-year span ( from the Patriots ' victory in February 2002 to the Bruins ' in June 2011 ) . In just ten years , between February 2002 and June 2011 , Boston 's teams completed what Sports Illustrated dubbed as the `` Grand Slam of North American sports . '' With the Patriots ' victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX , the four major Boston-area sports teams completed a grand-slam in six years ( the 2008 Celtics , the 2011 Bruins , the 2013 Red Sox and the 2014 Patriots ) . Beyond that , several of the teams were league finalists : the Revolution four times , the Patriots twice and the Bruins and Celtics once apiece .   With the Bruins reaching the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals , this allowed Boston to join Philadelphia as being the only cities to have had all of their teams play in each of the four major North American professional sports leagues ' title rounds since 2000 , following the Patriots in Super Bowls XXXVI in 2002 , XXXVIII in 2004 , XXXIX in 2005 , XLII in 2008 , XLVI in 2012 , XLIX in 2015 , and LI in 2017 and winning all of them , except Super Bowl XLII and XLVI , the Red Sox winning World Series titles in ( ending the Curse of the Bambino ) , , and , and the Celtics in the NBA Finals in and and winning in 2008 . In addition , Boston beat out Philadelphia for playing in all of the `` big '' league championship rounds in the shortest time in the new millennium , as it took 9 years for Philadelphia to achieve this feat ; Boston needed only three years and eight months . From 2004 to 2015 , all four Boston major league teams have each reached the championship rounds two times or more .

neg: Atlantic Northeast The Atlantic Northeast is a region of North America , which includes the US states of Connecticut , Massachusetts , Rhode Island , New Hampshire , Vermont , and Maine , as well as the Canadian Maritimes .   The Atlantic Northeast region is noted for its cultural unity , stark climate , landscape of dense forests , and a shared economic history in the exploitation of logging and the regional fishery . Further uniting this area is the `` Gray Zone '' which is an area of land and sea which is claimed by both Canada and the United States . It is located off the coasts of New Brunswick and Maine . The only land within this area are two islands , Machias Seal Island and North Rock . The `` Gray Zone '' is one of four areas between the two countries whose sovereignty is still in dispute , but is the only one of the disputed areas containing land . In 1979 , both countries filed a joint application to the International Court of Justice to avoid having the dispute settled when oceanic boundaries in the area were set for mineral and fishing rights . Canadians have had a continuous presence in the area since 1832 when a lighthouse was built .   Since the Atlantic Northeast is such a large region , it is home to many different types of wildlife , sports teams , and geographical locations . The Atlantic Northeast is home to the Boston Celtics , Boston Bruins , New England Patriots , Halifax Hurricanes , Boston Red Sox and many more . It also includes many notable species including the Bald Eagle , Atlantic Salmon , and the Swamp Pink . Lastly , the Atlantic Northeast includes many geographical places of interest including the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument and Salem , Massachusetts , home of the Salem Witch Trials .   Though cross-border connections are widely acknowledged , the area has rarely been given a single name . `` Atlantic Northeast '' is a term that has been used most prominently in discussions of regional folk culture , another name that is used is Atlantica . ''   These names are often tied to various proposals for greater economic or political integration of the region

pos: New England New England is a geographical region comprising six states of the northeast United States : Connecticut , Maine , Massachusetts , New Hampshire , Rhode Island , and Vermont . It is bordered by the state of New York to the west and south , and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and north , respectively . The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast , and Long Island Sound is to the south . Boston , the capital of Massachusetts , is New England 's largest city . The largest metropolitan area is Greater Boston , which also includes Worcester ( the second-largest city in both Massachusetts and New England ) , Manchester ( the largest city in New Hampshire ) , and Providence ( the capital and largest city of Rhode Island ) , with nearly a third of the entire region 's population .   In 1620 , Puritan Separatist Pilgrims from England first settled in the region , forming the Plymouth Colony , the second successful English settlement in the Americas , following the Jamestown Settlement in Virginia founded in 1607 . Ten years later , more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in Boston , thus forming Massachusetts Bay Colony . Over the next 126 years , people in the region fought in four French and Indian Wars , until the British and their Iroquois allies defeated the French and their Algonquin allies in North America . In 1692 , the town of Salem , Massachusetts and surrounding areas experienced one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in the history of the Western Hemisphere , the Salem witch trials . In the late 18th century , political leaders from the New England Colonies known as the Sons of Liberty initiated resistance to Britain 's efforts to impose new taxes without the consent of the colonists . The Boston Tea Party was a protest to which Britain responded with a series of punitive laws stripping Massachusetts of self-government , which were termed the `` Intolerable Acts '' by the colonists . The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775 , and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in spring 1776 .   The region played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States , and was the first region of the U.S. transformed by the Industrial Revolution , centered on the Blackstone and Merrimack river valleys .   The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area ; southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plain , while the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains . With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast , numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers , such as the Connecticut River , which bisects the region from north to south .   Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities known as towns , many of which are governed by town meetings . The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Maine , New Hampshire , and Vermont . The region is one of the U.S. Census Bureau 's nine regional divisions and the only multi-state region with clear , consistent boundaries . It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity , although the terms of this identity are often contrasted , combining Puritanism with liberalism , agrarian life with industry , and isolation with immigration .

neg: Flag of New England There is no official Flag of New England . Consequently , `` the Flag of New England '' can refer to any number of historical and modern banners used to represent Massachusetts , the New England Colonies , or the six states in the New England region of the northeastern United States . There are some variations , but common designs include a plain colored field ( usually red ) with a pine tree in the canton . Pinus strobus , the eastern white pine , is the most common symbol of New England and most often represents that tree 's former importance in shipbuilding and New England maritime culture .

neg: Restoration colony A restoration colony was one of a number of land grants in North America given by King Charles II of England in the later half of the 17th century , ostensibly as a reward to his supporters in the Stuart Restoration . The grants marked the resumption of English colonization of the Americas after a 30-year hiatus . The two major restoration colonies were the Province of Pennsylvania and the Province of Carolina . The founding of the Carolinas is described thusly :   In 1663 , three years after he was restored to his father 's throne , England 's Charles II granted a vast territory named Carolina to a group of supporters during his years of exile . Its boundaries extended from Virginia southward to central Florida and eastward to the Atlantic Ocean . Within this potential empire , eight London-based proprietors , including several involved in Barbados sugar plantations , gained governmental powers and semifeudal rights to the land . The system of governance planned for Carolina had both feudal and modern features . To lure settlers , the proprietors promised religious freedom and offered land free for the asking . But onto this generous land offer they grafted a scheme for a semimedieval government in which they , their deputies , and a few noblemen would monopolize political power . Reacting to a generation of revolutionary turbulence in England , they designed Carolina as a model of social and political stability in which a hereditary aristocracy would check boisterous small landholders .   The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and Connecticut Colony were given their formal charters and Rhode Island even honored the King with King 's Province ( what has since been renamed Washington County , Rhode Island ) .

neg: Puritans The Puritans were a group of English Reformed Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to `` purify '' the Church of England from its `` Catholic '' practices , maintaining that the Church of England was only partially reformed .

neg: Eliot family (America) For the British noble family of St Germans , Cornwall , see Earl of St Germans   The Eliot family is the American branch of one of several British families to hold this surname . This branch is based in Boston but originated in East Coker , Yeovil , Somerset . It is one of the Boston Brahmins , a bourgeois family , whose ancestors had become wealthy and held sway over the American education system . All are the descendants of two men named Andrew Eliot , father and son , who emigrated from East Coker to Beverly , Massachusetts between 1668 and 1670 . The elder Andrew ( 1627-March 1 , 1703/04 ) served the town and colony in a number of positions and in 1692 was chosen as a juror in the Salem witch trials . His son Andrew ( 1651-September 12 , 1688 ) married Mercy Shattuck in 1680 in Beverly and died by drowning after falling off a ship .   The ranks include several college presidents , one Nobel prize winner , and presidents of American professional associations . Charles W. Eliot transformed Harvard from a college to a research institution , a model which many American universities have followed . William Greenleaf Eliot co-founded Washington University in St. Louis in 1853 and Thomas H. Eliot was chancellor of that institution from 1962-71 ; William Greenleaf Eliot 's son Thomas Lamb Eliot went further west and was a seminal figure in the founding of Reed College in Portland , Oregon in 1911 . The poet T. S. Eliot moved to England and his ashes were interred in East Coker , England . He wanted to be laid to rest in the original birthplace of his first American ancestor and other Eliot ancestors .   Another branch of the American Eliot family descend from Rev. John Eliot of Roxbury , Massachusetts , known as the `` Apostle to the Indians . '' His son , John Eliot , Jr. , was the first pastor of the First Church of Christ in Newton . In turn , John Eliot Jr. 's son , Joseph Eliot , became a pastor in Guilford , Connecticut , and later fathered Jared Eliot , another pastor as well as agricultural writer .

neg: European witchcraft Belief in and practice of witchcraft in Europe can be traced to classical antiquity and has continuous history during the Middle Ages , culminating in the Early Modern witch hunts and giving rise to the fairy tale and popular culture `` witch '' stock character of modern times , as well as to the concept of the `` modern witch '' in Wicca and related movements of contemporary witchcraft .   The topic is a complex amalgamation of the practices of folk healers , folk magic , ancient belief in sorcery in pagan Europe , Christian views on heresy , medieval and early modern practice of ceremonial magic and simple fiction in folklore and literature .

Though part of the major wave utopian and dystopian literature that distinguished the final decades of the nineteenth century , Holford 's book reverses the normal stance of utopian projection : instead of imagining a better society at a future time or in a far-off place , he supposes that the founding of the United States occurred under different conditions and follows its development forward to a superior society in his own day .   In Aristopia ( Greek for `` the best place '' ) , Ralph Morton , an early settler in Virginia , discovers a reef made of solid gold . He cannily uses his wealth to build a planned society , based on the Utopia of Sir Thomas More , with innovations and adaptations of his own . In Aristopia , all the land is owned by the government , and only leased to businesses and private citizens . Large-scale trade is also monoplized by the state , and inherited wealth is limited . Morton welcomes productive refugees from European conflicts -- Huguenots , Irish fugitives from Cromwell 's wars , and northern Italian and Swiss artisans .   The colony prospers , buys more land from the Indians , and spreads westward . Morton dies at the age of 100 ; his descendants and successors carry his policies forward .   The Aristopians support the American Revolution , and on their own initiative conquer Canada . Aristopia comes to dominate the new nation , eventually ruling all of North America north of Mexico .   Holford loads his description of Aristopia with satirical remedies for what he saw as contemporary problems and circumstances . In Aristopian jurisprudence , for example , the Court for Assessing the Value of Abstract Words and Phrases polices the language to prevent abuses ; it is the largest and busiest function in the Palace of Justice .   The English playwright Henry Arthur Jones was taken with the idea of Aristopia , and used it in his own polemical writings , as in his `` The Tax-Wise Men of Aristopia '' and his My Dear Wells .   Holford was not the first writer in English to employ the term `` Aristopia . '' The eighteenth-century freethinker John Fransham ( 1730 -- 1810 ) left a posthumous manuscript titled Memorablilia Classica , which contains a piece called `` The Code of Aristopia , or Scheme for a Perfect Government . ''

neg: New England Puritan culture and recreation The Puritan culture of the New England colonies of the seventeenth century was influenced by Calvinist Theology , which believed in a `` just , almighty God '' and a lifestyle that consisted of pious , consecrated actions . The Puritans participated in their own forms of recreational activity , including visual arts , literature , and music . The Puritans were educated and literate , and their culture was broadly based in the arts and languages .

neg: Elizabeth "Harriot" Wilson Elizabeth Wilson ( 1762January 3 , 1786 ) was an American whose execution by hanging for the purported murder of her children in southeastern Pennsylvania during the immediate post-Revolutionary War period made her a folklore figure in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century . Although her responsibility for the children 's deaths had not been definitively established , the hanging was carried out and a pardon , granted by the state and entrusted to her brother , William , was not delivered in time to stop the execution . There was tremendous popular interest in her story , which quickly evolved into a tale of moral failing and divine redemption . Following his sister 's death , William became a recluse , popularly known as The Pennsylvania Hermit .   In some sources , William and Elizabeth are referred to as Amos Wilson and Harriot Wilson . However , the historical record leaves no doubt that the Hermit and his sister were named William and Elizabeth . The origin of these `` alternate '' names has never been fully explained .   Many key elements of the Wilsons ' saga are documented in the records of the Chester County Courts and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . However , the story quickly became a part of local folklore and was embellished by generations of storytellers . It is possible to note which elements of the tale are a part of the historical record and which might be considered suspect . However , `` the Wilson Story '' might best be considered historical fiction , as the popular tale incorporates elements of both , and even scholarly discussions of the events are at odds regarding certain details . The following is a synthesis of numerous , often conflicting sources and is best regarded as historical fiction .

neg: Merrimack Valley The Merrimack Valley is a bi-state region along the Merrimack River in the U.S. states of New Hampshire and Massachusetts , United States . The Merrimack is one of the larger waterways in the New England region and has helped define the livelihood and culture of those living along it since native times .   Major cities in the Merrimack Valley include Concord , Manchester and Nashua in New Hampshire , as well as Lowell , Lawrence and Haverhill in Massachusetts . The Merrimack Valley was a major center of the textile industry in America during the 19th century .

neg: Black Death in England The Black Death was a pneumonic plague pandemic , which reached England in June 1348 , and died down by December 1349 . It was the first and most severe manifestation of the Second Pandemic , caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria . The term `` Black Death '' was not used until the late 17th Century .   Originating in China , it spread west along the trade routes across Europe and arrived on the British Isles from the English province of Gascony . The plague seems to have been spread by flea-infected rats , as well as individuals who had been infected on the continent . Rats were the reservoir hosts of the Y. pestis bacteria and the Oriental rat flea was the primary vector .   The first known case in England was a seaman who arrived at Weymouth , Dorset , from Gascony in June 1348 . By autumn , the plague had reached London , and by summer 1349 it covered the entire country , before dying down by December . Low estimates of mortality in the early twentieth century have been revised upwards due to re-examination of data and new information , and a figure of 40 -- 60 % of the population is widely accepted .   The English government handled the crisis well , and the country did not experience the extreme reactions that were seen elsewhere in Europe . The most immediate consequence was a halt to the campaigns of the Hundred Years ' War . In the long term , the decrease in population caused a shortage of labour , with subsequent rise in wages , resisted by the landowners , which caused deep resentment among the lower classes . The Peasants ' Revolt of 1381 was largely a result of this resentment , and even though the rebellion was suppressed , in the long term serfdom was ended in England . The Black Death also affected artistic and cultural efforts , and may have helped advance the use of the vernacular .   In 1361 -- 62 the plague returned to England , this time causing the death of around 20 % of the population . After this the plague continued to return intermittently throughout the 14th and 15th centuries , in local or national outbreaks . From this point on its effect became less severe , and one of the last outbreaks of the plague in England was the Great Plague of London in 1665 -- 66 .

neg: Abigail Hobbs Abigail Hobbs was a girl of about 14 to 16 years old when she was arrested for witchcraft on April 18 , 1692 along with Giles Corey , Mary Warren , and Bridget Bishop . Prior to living in Salem Village ( now Danvers , Massachusetts ) , she and her family had lived in Casco , Maine , the frontier of the Massachusetts Bay Colony , during a time when there were many attacks by the Wabanaki Native Americans . Her father William and stepmother , Deliverance Hobbs , were also both charged with witchcraft .   During her multiple examinations by local magistrates between April and June 1692 , Abigail confessed and accused others of witchcraft , including John Proctor . At her trial in September , she pleaded guilty to both indictments against her , one for afflicting Mercy Lewis and another for covenanting with the Devil . In her examination on April 20 , 1692 , Abigail Hobbs accused George Burroughs , the previous minister of Salem , of being a witch . With the naming of Minister Burroughs , a well-respected member of the community , many accusations came forth and climbed up the social hierarchy .   Governor William Phips granted the Hobbs family a reprieve in January 1693 , after Chief Magistrate William Stoughton had signed the warrant for her execution . In 1710 , her father , William Hobbs , petitioned the General Court to compensate him for # 40 expenses that the family 's imprisonment cost him but said he was willing to accept # 10 , which the court granted him in 1712 . She was among those named in the Act for Reversal of Attainder by the Massachusetts Great and General Court , October 17 , 1711 .

neg: Maleficium (sorcery) Maleficium as a Latin term means `` wrongdoing '' or `` mischief '' , and describes malevolent , dangerous , or harmful magic , `` evildoing , '' or `` malevolent sorcery '' . In general , the term applies to any magical act intended to cause harm or death to people or property . Maleficium can involve the act of poisoning or drugging someone . Practitioners of Melificium are not exclusively females , although , popular culture of witchcraft favors it . Women accused of Maleficium were punished by being imprisoned or even executed .   In the Byzantine Empire astrologers ( Lat . mathematici ) were considered magical wrongdoers , and so were heretics .   The term appears in several historically important texts , notably in the Formicarius ( printed 1475 ) and in the Malleus Maleficarum ( 1487 ) .   The Knights Templar were accused by Philip IV of France of maleficium . The trial of the Knights Templar set a social standard for the popular belief in maleficium and witchcraft that contributed to the great European witch hunt . In early New England , more men would get accused of such Maleficium that was `` non-malefic '' .

neg: Bloody Assizes The Bloody Assizes were a series of trials started at Winchester on 25 August 1685 in the aftermath of the Battle of Sedgemoor , which ended the Monmouth Rebellion in England .   There were five judges -- Sir William Montague ( Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer ) , Sir Robert Wright , Sir Francis Wythens , ( Justice of the King 's Bench ) , Sir Creswell Levinz ( Justice of the Common Pleas ) and Sir Henry Pollexfen , led by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffreys .   Over 1,000 rebels were in prison awaiting the trials , which started in Winchester on 26 August . The first notable trial was that of an elderly gentlewoman named Dame Alice Lyle . The jury reluctantly found her guilty , and , the law recognising no distinction between principals and accessories in treason , she was sentenced to be burned . This was commuted to beheading , with the sentence being carried out in Winchester market-place on 2 September 1685 .   From Winchester the court proceeded through the West Country to Salisbury , Dorchester and on to Taunton , before finishing up at Wells on 23 September . More than 1,400 prisoners were dealt with and although most were sentenced to death , fewer than 300 were hanged or hanged , drawn and quartered . The Taunton Assize took place in the Great Hall of Taunton Castle ( now the home of the Museum of Somerset ) . Of more than 500 prisoners brought before the court on the 18/19 September , 144 were hanged and their remains displayed around the county to ensure people understood the fate of those who rebelled against the king .   Some 800 -- 850 men were transported to the West Indies where they were worth more alive than dead as a source of cheap labour . ( The novel Captain Blood , and the later movies based on it , graphically portray this punishment . ) Others were imprisoned to await further trial , although many did not live long enough , succumbing to ` Gaol Fever ' ( typhus ) , which was rife in the unsanitary conditions common to most English gaols at that time . A woman named Elizabeth Gaunt had the gruesome distinction of being the last woman burnt alive in England for political crimes .   Jeffreys returned to London after the Assizes to report to King James , who rewarded him by making him Lord Chancellor ( at the age of only 40 ) , ` For the many eminent and faithful services to the Crown ' . Jeffreys became known as `` the hanging judge '' .   After the Glorious Revolution , Jeffreys was incarcerated in the Tower of London , where he died in 1689 . His death was probably due to his chronic medical history of kidney and bladder stones leading to an acute infection , kidney failure and possibly toxaemia .   Writing as recently as 1929 , Sir John C. Fox said : Even to the present day , the mothers of West Somerset control their unruly offspring by threatening to send for ` Judge Jeffreys ' .

neg: Sports in Boston Boston , the capital city of the U.S. state of Massachusetts and largest city in the New England region of the northeastern United States , is home to several major league sports teams , including the Red Sox ( baseball ) , the Celtics ( basketball ) and the Bruins ( ice hockey ) . The New England Patriots ( American football ) and the New England Revolution ( soccer ) play at Gillette Stadium in nearby Foxborough , Massachusetts . Several Boston-area colleges and universities are also active in college athletics .   Sports are a major part of the city 's culture ( as well as the culture of the Greater Boston area ) . Boston sports fans are known for their fanatical devotion to the Red Sox and knowledge of the team 's history . Fenway Park , home of the Red Sox , is the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) and holds a legendary status among baseball fans .   Boston is the only city in professional sports in which all facilities are privately owned and operated . The Patriots own Gillette Stadium , the Red Sox own Fenway Park , and TD Garden is owned by Delaware North , owner of the Bruins . The Celtics rent TD Garden from Delaware North .   In the 2000s , Boston 's professional teams had arguably the most successful decade in sports history , winning ten championships ( five by the Patriots , three by the Red Sox and one each by the Celtics and Bruins ) . When the Bruins won the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals , the city of Boston became the first city in the 21st century to have all four of its major professional league teams win a league championship , and it is the only city ever to have championships in all four major professional leagues within a ten-year span ( from the Patriots ' victory in February 2002 to the Bruins ' in June 2011 ) . In just ten years , between February 2002 and June 2011 , Boston 's teams completed what Sports Illustrated dubbed as the `` Grand Slam of North American sports . '' With the Patriots ' victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX , the four major Boston-area sports teams completed a grand-slam in six years ( the 2008 Celtics , the 2011 Bruins , the 2013 Red Sox and the 2014 Patriots ) . Beyond that , several of the teams were league finalists : the Revolution four times , the Patriots twice and the Bruins and Celtics once apiece .   With the Bruins reaching the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals , this allowed Boston to join Philadelphia as being the only cities to have had all of their teams play in each of the four major North American professional sports leagues ' title rounds since 2000 , following the Patriots in Super Bowls XXXVI in 2002 , XXXVIII in 2004 , XXXIX in 2005 , XLII in 2008 , XLVI in 2012 , XLIX in 2015 , and LI in 2017 and winning all of them , except Super Bowl XLII and XLVI , the Red Sox winning World Series titles in ( ending the Curse of the Bambino ) , , and , and the Celtics in the NBA Finals in and and winning in 2008 . In addition , Boston beat out Philadelphia for playing in all of the `` big '' league championship rounds in the shortest time in the new millennium , as it took 9 years for Philadelphia to achieve this feat ; Boston needed only three years and eight months . From 2004 to 2015 , all four Boston major league teams have each reached the championship rounds two times or more .

neg: Margaret Scott (Salem witch trials) Margaret Scott ( née Stephenson , ca. 1615 - ) was found guilty of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials and was executed by hanging on September 22 , 1692 . She was part of the last group to be executed , which also included Mary Eastey , Martha Corey , Ann Pudeator , Samuel Wardwell , Mary Parker , Alice Parker , and Wilmot Redd . She was the only accused person from Rowley to be executed . As a lower-class , long-term widow , having lost several children in infancy , she was a prototypical witch candidate . When her husband , Benjamin , died , he left a very small estate and she , being unable to remarry , was reduced to begging , which invited resentment and suspicion . In this manner , her circumstances were comparable to fellow victim , Sarah Good .

neg: Sarah Good Sarah Good ( , 1653 -- , 1692 ) was one of the first three women to be accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials , which occurred in 1692 in colonial Massachusetts .

neg: Saltonstall family The Saltonstall family is a Boston Brahmin family from the U.S. state of Massachusetts , notable for having had a family member attend Harvard University from every generation since Nathaniel Saltonstall -- later one of the more principled judges at the Salem Witch Trials -- graduated in 1659 . This legacy was abruptly ended by Preacher showrunner Ephron `` Sam '' Saltonstall Catlin in 1989 . The family originated in Yorkshire , England , where the name was sometimes spelled Saltingstall . The name originates from the hamlet of Saltonstall in Halifax , West Yorkshire . The meaning is derived from Sal-ton-stall in Old English . The translation being `` Farm in the willows '' . Notable members of the family include :  Richard Saltonstall ( mayor ) , mayor of London  Sir Richard Saltonstall , colonist with the Winthrop Fleet , nephew of the above  Nathaniel Saltonstall , judge at Salem Witch Trials  Gurdon Saltonstall , his son , governor of Connecticut  Dudley Saltonstall , Commander at Penobscot Expedition  Leverett Saltonstall I , U.S. Representative in 1830s  Leverett Saltonstall II , his son , Collector of the Port of Boston ( 1885 -- 1889 )  Leverett A.

neg: Wilmot Redd Wilmot Redd ( a.k.a. Wilmot Read and Wilmot Reed ) ( early 17th century - September 22 , 1692 ) was one of the victims of the Salem witch trials of 1692 . She was born in Marblehead , Massachusetts , and executed by hanging on September 22 , 1692 . Her husband was Samuel Redd , a fisherman . She was known for her irritability , but she was given little serious attention and , to her neighbors , was `` probably more bitch than witch . ''   Redd was apprehended on May 28 , 1692 , by local constable James Smith . The warrant was signed by Magistrates Jonathan Corwin and John Hathorne . The charge brought against her was one of having `` committed sundry acts of witchcraft on bodys of Mary Walcott & Mercy Lewis and others in Salem Village to their great hurt . ''   A preliminary examination took place on May 31 , 1692 , at Nathan Ingersoll 's house in Salem Village . This was Redd 's first meeting with the children she allegedly bewitched . They promptly fell into fits , and when asked what she thought ailed them , Redd said , `` I can not tell . '' Urged to give an opinion , she stated , `` My opinion is they are in a sad condition . ''   Indicted as a witch , Redd was accused of `` detestable arts called Witchcraft and Sorceries wickedly , mallitiously -LSB- sic -RSB- and felloniously used , practiced & exercised at the Towne of Salem .

neg: Douglas Island Douglas Island is a tidal island in the U.S. state of Alaska , just west of downtown Juneau and east of Admiralty Island . It is separated from mainland Juneau by the Gastineau Channel . The Juneau-Douglas Bridge , connecting the island with Juneau , provides a two lane road to and from the island and accommodates both vehicular and pedestrian traffic . Recently , there have been plans to build a new bridge from North Douglas to the Mendenhall Valley . Admiralty Island lies to the west and south , across the Stephens Passage . Douglas Island was named for John Douglas , Bishop of Salisbury , by Captain George Vancouver . Joseph Whidbey , master of the during Vancouver 's expedition , was the first to sight it in 1794 .   Features of the island include remnants of the Treadwell gold mine , Sandy Beach , the only sand beach in the Juneau area ( made from mine tailings ) , Eaglecrest Ski Area , Perseverance Theatre , and the Douglas Public Library . As a tidal island , Douglas is connected to the mainland at its north end when the Gastineau Channel is at low tide . During low tide , Douglas Island is connected with Juneau 's Twin Lakes area , the Juneau International Airport as well as other sites .   Douglas is usually thought of as two areas : downtown Douglas ( including West Juneau ) , containing Douglas Harbor , Sandy Beach , the mines , the library , Gastineau Elementary , the theatre , the gas station , the few bars and restaurants , and the bridge to Juneau ; and North Douglas Island , containing a tank farm , Eaglecrest Ski Area and a heliport .   The island has a land area of 76.93 sqmi and had a population of 5,297 at the 2000 United States Census , with over half of the island 's population residing in Douglas proper . It is part of the City and Borough of Juneau . The island 's highest point , Mount Ben Stewart , was named in honor of Benjamin D. Stewart ( 1878 -- 1976 ) , an early mayor of Juneau .   Following the 2012 election of Merrill Sanford , the incumbent mayor of Juneau , the Juneau Empire noted the island 's `` outsized contribution '' to Juneau-area politics . Sanford , Byron Mallott ( currently lieutenant governor of Alaska ) and Dennis Egan ( currently Juneau 's representative in the Alaska Senate ) live in West Juneau . Sally Smith , who succeeded Egan as mayor , lives in the Lawson Creek neighborhood between Douglas and West Juneau , while her successor Bruce Botelho lives in Douglas .

neg: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country is a 1991 American science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures . It is the sixth feature film based on Star Trek , and a sequel to the 1966 -- 1969 Star Trek television series . Taking place after the events of Star Trek V : The Final Frontier , it is the last film featuring the entire cast of the original series . After the destruction of the Klingon moon Praxis leads the Klingon Empire to pursue peace with their long-time adversary the Federation , the crew of the USS Enterprise must race against unseen conspirators with a militaristic agenda .   The sixth film in the series was initially planned as a prequel to the original series , with younger actors portraying the crew of the Enterprise while attending Starfleet Academy , but the idea was discarded because of negative reaction from the original cast and the fans . Faced with producing a new film in time for Star Trek 's 25th anniversary , Nicholas Meyer , the director of Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan , and Denny Martin Flinn wrote a script based on a suggestion from Leonard Nimoy about what would happen if `` the Wall came down in space '' , touching on the contemporary events of the Cold War .   Principal photography took place between April and September 1991 . The production budget was smaller than anticipated because of the critical and commercial disappointment of The Final Frontier . Because of a lack of sound stage space on the Paramount lot , many scenes were filmed around Hollywood . Meyer and cinematographer Hiro Narita aimed for a darker and more dramatic mood , subtly altering sets originally used for the television series Star Trek : The Next Generation . Producer Steven-Charles Jaffe led a second unit that filmed on an Alaskan glacier that stood in for a Klingon gulag . Cliff Eidelman produced the film 's score , which is intentionally darker than previous Star Trek offerings .   The film was released in North America on December 6 , 1991 . The Undiscovered Country garnered positive reviews , with publications praising the lighthearted acting and facetious references . The film performed strongly at the box office . It posted the largest opening weekend gross of the series before going on to earn $ 96,888,996 worldwide . The film earned two Academy Award nominations , for Best Makeup and Best Sound Effects , and is the only Star Trek movie to win the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film . A special collectors ' edition DVD version of the film was released in 2004 , to which Meyer had made minor alterations . Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died shortly before the movie 's premiere , just days after viewing the film . The film marked the final appearance together of the original series ' cast .
