| These are the postcard
transparency proofs used by the printer to produce these 12 cards
for the 1983 Hockey Hall of Fame postcard series. I do not
usually buy newer items, however the artwork of Carlton McDermott
is stunning and I thought they were a great one-of a kind item of
these Hockey Hall of Fame players. |

02/06/20051941-42 Chicago Blackhawks team photo Christmas
card |
(autographed by the coach, Paul
Thompson) |
| This Chicago
Blackhawks Christmas card was sold to me by Van Hill of Calgary,
Alberta. He found the card in the back of a fireplace mantle in a
house that he was remodeling. He was kind enough to sell me the
Christmas card so I could display it on my web site for other
hockey collectors and historians to see. It is truly a miracle
that the card survived in the condition that it did for all these
years. |

Long before the Detroit Red
Wings were the Red wings, they were the Detroit Cougars. Detroit
has its hockey history in the Western Hockey League team, the
Victoria Cougars. On May 15, 1926, players were purchased when
the entire roster of the Victoria Cougars was sold for
$100,00.00. Charles King was named the club's first President and
Art Duncan, who led the Pacific Coast Hockey League (PCHL) in
scoring while with the Vancouver in 1923-24 was named
player-manager. Some of the other original players were Happy
Holmes, Frank Frederickson, Jack Walker and Frank Foyston, all
stars of the various western hockey leagues.
Due to a lack of a local arena, the Red Wings played their home
games in Windsor Ontario, just across the river, making it the
first professional franchise to have its home base in a foreign
country. In their first year the Cougars, who kept the nickname
from their former team, posted a 12W-28L-4T record, which secured
them a last place finish in the NHL's then, 5 team American
Division.
Changes happened quickly and after failing to entice Lester
Patrick away from the New York Rangers, management signed Jack
Adams, a former member of the Stanley Cup winning Ottawa
Senators, as Manager. On November 22, 1927, the Cougars played
their first game in the new Detroit Olympia. The Cougar's Johnny
Sheppard scored the first goal in the new arena, as the Cougars
lost to the Ottawa Senators 2-1.
In 1930, the Cougars changed their name to the Falcons and would
eventually go on to be renamed the Cougars and then Red Wings.
And as they say....the rest is history. |

01/15/2005Cabinet card and CDV photo of Lord Stanley, donator
of the Stanley Cup trophy |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This photo was taken in
1895 or 1896 by Brown, Barnes & Bell in Liverpool, England,
while Lord Stanley was serving as the First Lord Mayor of Greater
Liverpool. |
This photo was take in
London sometime between 1873 and 1886 while Lord Stanley was a
Member of the British Parliament. |
Frederick Arthur Stanley
was born in London, England on January 15, 1841, the younger son
of three-time Prime Minister of England, Edward George Geoffrey
Stanley, the Fourteenth Earl of Derby. Educated at Eton and later
at military college, Frederick Stanley received his commission in
the Grenadier Guards, but opted for a political career shortly
afterwards. He was elected as a Conservative Member of Parliament
for Preston, and later represented North Lancashire and Blackpool
in the House of Commons. Lord Stanley was a Member of the British
Parliament between 1865 and 1886, including a term as Secretary
of State for the Colonies in 1885 and 1886. From 1886 to 1888,
Stanley was president of the Board of Trade. On June 11, 1888,
Lord Stanley succeeded the Marquis of Lansdowne as the sixth
Governor-General of Canada, appointed by England's reigning
monarch, Queen Victoria. Stanley's full title was the Right
Honourable Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, Earl of Derby, Baron
Stanley of Preston, in the County of Lancaster, in the peerage of
Great Britain, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of
the Bath. Although Lord Stanley lived in the official residence
of the Governor-General, Rideau Hall, upon his move to Ottawa, he
built a large summer home called Stanley House in order to
indulge his love of fishing. It was located on the Baie des
Chaleurs near the mouth of the Grand Cascapedia River on the
Gaspe Peninsula. Today, Stanley House is a charming bed and
breakfast destination.
Lord Stanley's term in office as Governor-General was
uneventful, with the exception of his incomparable legacy to
hockey. While in Canada, Stanley's children discovered exciting
new winter pursuits, including snowshoeing, tobogganing, skating
and playing hockey. His sons Algernon and Arthur formed a
competitive hockey club called the Rideau Rebels, while his
daughter Isobel was one of the first female hockey players in
Canada. On March 18, 1892, the Governor-General asked Lord
Kilcoursie, a vice-regal aide who played on the Rideau Rebels
with Stanley's sons, to read a letter on his behalf to the Ottawa
Athletic Association.
'I have for some time been thinking that it would be a good
thing if there were a challenge cup, which would be held from
year to year by the leading hockey club in the Dominion.
Considering the general interest which hockey matches now elicit,
and the importance of having the game played fairly and under
rules generally recognized, I am willing to give a cup which
shall be held from year to year by the winning club.'
Lord Stanley's offer was enthusiastically accepted, and he
subsequently requested one of his aides, Captain Colville, to
purchase an appropriate trophy. Known originally as the Dominion
Hockey Challenge Cup, the trophy was purchased for ten guineas
($48.67 at the time) and quickly became known as the Stanley Cup.
The silver bowl was created in Sheffield, England but purchased
in London, England and stood 7.28 inches tall and 11.42 inches in
diameter. Today, this original Stanley Cup is kept on permanent
display at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Lord Stanley insisted that the Cup remain a challenge trophy,
presented for the amateur championship of Canada, and never
become the property of any one team. The first Stanley Cup winner
was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association in 1893. In 1910,
after having being awarded to both amateur and professional
teams, the Stanley Cup was awarded exclusively to professional
teams. From the National Hockey League's formation in 1917 until
1926, the magnificent trophy was awarded to the winner of a
playoff between the NHL and the Pacific Coast Hockey League. When
the PCHL dissolved in 1927, the Stanley Cup was presented
exclusively to NHL playoff champions.
Lord Stanley never witnessed either a championship hockey
contest or his namesake trophy presented to a championship team.
Stanley's term as Governor-General was scheduled to end in
September 1893, however, in April of that year (midway through
the hockey season), Stanley's brother, the Fifteenth Earl of
Derby, died. Lord Stanley resigned the Governor-Generalship and
returned home to England on July 15, 1893 to become the Sixteenth
Earl of Derby. In 1893, he was appointed president of University
College and when the University of Liverpool was established in
1903, Lord Stanley became the university's first Chancellor.
Between 1895 and 1896, Lord Stanley served as the First Lord
Mayor of Greater Liverpool and also later served as Mayor of
Preston. Lord Stanley died at Knowsley, in Lancashire, on June
14, 1908. |
