This Date in Bears History

A franchise steeped in tradition, Hershey provides a wealth of history.  In light of the abundance of Chocolatetown hockey lore at my disposal, this morning I celebrate an achievement of Bears past.

January 29, 1964:  The Bears captured the club's 11th consecutive victory in Hersheypark Arena with a 5-4 defeat of the visiting Rochester Americans.  The win set the franchise record as Hershey's longest home winning streak, which, of course, has since been obliterated by the 14-game (and counting) mark established by this year's team.
