Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Boston Braves''' were a professional [[ice hockey]] team in [[Boston]], Massachusetts. They were a member of the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) from 1971 to 1974.

==History==
The early 1970s saw an unprecedented boom in the popularity of hockey in the [[Greater Boston|greater Boston area]], fueled by the success of the [[Bobby Orr]] and [[Phil Esposito]]-led [[Boston Bruins]]. The Bruins had sold out all of their home games at the [[Boston Garden]] for years, and the team owners thought that placing their minor-league affiliate in the same arena made sense on several levels. Previously, the Bruins' top affiliates were the [[Hershey Bears]] of the AHL and the [[Oklahoma City Blazers (1965–77)|Oklahoma City Blazers]] of the [[Central Hockey League]].

The team was named after the [[Boston Braves (baseball)#Boston|eponymous National League baseball team]] that had played in Boston until 1953 — which had been owned by [[Charles Adams (ice hockey)|Charles F. Adams]], founder of the Bruins, during the 1930s. The first season of the AHL Braves, under coach [[Bep Guidolin]], was wildly successful. Behind a powerful club led by future NHL stars [[Dan Bouchard]] and [[Rich Leduc]], and with other veteran minor-leaguers and future [[National Hockey League|NHL]] players such as [[Doug Roberts (ice hockey)|Doug Roberts]], [[Terry O'Reilly]], [[Ross Brooks]], [[Nick Beverley]], [[Garry Peters]] and [[Don Tannahill]], the club tied for first place in its division with the powerful [[Nova Scotia Voyageurs]] with a 41-21-14 mark, while proving popular enough in Boston to set league records for single-game and single-season attendance that survived for decades.

In its second season, however, competition from the [[New England Whalers]] of the [[World Hockey Association]] (WHA) served to saturate the market. Furthermore, NHL expansion cost the team its best player, Bouchard, who had been picked by the [[Atlanta Flames]], while WHA defections caused the recall of Brooks to the parent club and the departure of Roberts and Peters to the rival league. While scoring declined only slightly, the defense was notably poorer. The team still finished second in the division with a 34-29-13 mark, but attendance had nearly halved.

In the Braves' third and final season, the defense collapsed to the point where the team finished out of the playoffs after a 23-40-13 record. With attendance dwindling further and the ebbing of the hockey boom itself in New England, Bruins' management decided to suspend the team; the next season saw the Bruins affiliating with the [[Rochester Americans]] (whose coach and general manager, [[Don Cherry (ice hockey)|Don Cherry]], had just become the Bruins' head coach.)

The Bruins maintained the franchise's existence for many years, paying a nominal fee to the league to keep it dormant, finally selling its rights to the [[Winnipeg Jets (1972–96)|Winnipeg Jets]] in 1987 so that the Jets could move it to the Maritimes to become the [[Moncton Hawks]].
