This photo was
taken on December 10th, 1946 at the Mayfair in Boston. At that
time the Mayfair was the place to go, as the front cover states:
"The Mayfair" - Boston's smartest supper room & cocktail
lounge. The photo itself is of Eddie Shore; his longtime doctor
and personal friend, Dr Tonache and a reporter for the
Springfield Republican, Walter Graham.
Eddie has signed/inscribed the photo to his doctor, as
follows: "To a grand guy, with all the best in the world,
Eddie Shore". Walter Graham also signed below Eddie. I have been
lead to believe that they were celebrating his upcoming election
to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
On the opposite side of the signed photo is a newsclipping that
shows Babe Ruth, Eddie Shore and Wally Berger. The headline
reads: Baseball and hockey meet at Braves
Field in the persons of Babe Ruth, Eddie Shore, old No.
2 of the Boston Bruins who was voted into hockey's Hall of Fame
and Wally Berger, great centerfielder of the Braves. |

Clarence Campbell, signed letter & 1964-65 NHL
handbook printing proof |
|
|
|
|
This truly a
one of a kind piece of hockey memorabilia. This is the actual
proof that was used prior to printing the final version of the
NHL handbook for Officials for 1964-65. This proof was sent to
Herb Gallagher of the rules committee by Clarence Campbell, the
president of the NHL at that time. In the far left you will see
just one of many pages with changes, deletions or corrections
that Clarence Campbell made to the proof.
In his letter Clarence Campbell writes the following:
Herewith please find final galley proof of NHL Rules, including
all authorized changes, for the 1964-65 season. As it is required
to have the rule book available for use by the 20th of August,
anyone having any comments or changes should make them by long
distance to the undersigned.
Your's very truly, National Hockey League President, signed
Clarence Campbell.
P.S. This is in compliance with your request last March to be
placed on the mailing list regarding rule changes. As soon as
these are in book form, we will forward a supply to
you. |
| Lynn Patrick, New
York Rangers Great, autographed letter |
 |
This letter
dated June 6, 1950 is from HOF'er Lynn Patrick to the Pee-Wee
hockey program he had established in New Haven, Connecticut.
In it he writes:
It is with deep regret that I am leaving the area where my
first Pee-Wee Hockey program originated. My association with you
boys has been extremely satisfactory. Play the Sport, play it
well, be a credit to the game, and I hope to meet with you again
in your future hockey endeavors. Signed, Lynn
Patrick
Lynn Patrick was the son of Hall of Famer
Lester Patrick and grew up on Canada's West Coast while his
father operated the Pacific Coast Hockey Association with Lynn's
uncle, Frank Patrick. The Patricks would come to be known as
"Hockey's Royal Family" but Lynn grew up in a mainly non-hockey
environment and didn't play organized hockey until he moved to
Montreal in his late teens.
Patrick was inspired by his father and uncle, and had
always wanted to be a professional hockey player. However, when
the Victoria rink was burned down by fire in 1929 Lynn did not
have the chance to skate again until he moved to Montreal in
1933. He played with the Montreal Royals that season and was
signed, rather reluctantly, by his father to a contract with the
New York Rangers for the 1934-35 season. There were many charges
of nepotism and Lynn had to endure more than his share of
ridicule from the Rangers' fans and press. But, he persevered and
was selected as the National Hockey League's First Team All-Star
left wing in 1942 and was a Second Team selection in 1943. He was
a member of the Rangers' 1940 Stanley Cup winning team and led
the league with 32 goals two years later in 1941-42.
He retired in 1947 and became the coach of the New Haven
Ramblers in the American Hockey League and replaced Frank Boucher
as coach of the Rangers the following season. Patrick moved on to
coach the Boston Bruins in 1950-51, held the dual post of coach
and general manager with the Bruins in 1954-55, and then
continued as the Bruins GM until 1965. As the first GM/coach of
the St. Louis Blues, Patrick introduced Scotty Bowman to his
first big-league coaching assignment. Patrick later assumed the
role of vice-president with the Blues and occasionally helped
behind the bench until retiring from hockey in 1977. His sons
Craig and Glenn continued the family tradition of being involved
in hockey at the highest levels, Craig being inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001. Lynn Patrick was inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame in 1980. |
