Charles Francis Adams (18 October 1876–1947) was the first owner of the Boston Bruins in the 1924–1925 season and owner of Finast, one of the United States largest grocery store chains at the time. Born in Newport, Vermont, he was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1960. Under his leadership the Bruins won their first Stanley Cup in 1929.
He was also the owner of the Boston Braves and Suffolk Downs. He was ordered by commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to sell the Braves due to his stake in Suffolk Downs.
The NHL's Adams Division was formed in 1974 as part of the Prince of Wales Conference. The division existed for 19 seasons until 1993. It was named in honor of Adams. It is the fore-runner of the NHL's Northeast Division.
