Vintage black and white postcard portraying the Portage Lake Hockey Team, United States Champions 1902-03.The Lakers were a founding team in the International Hockey League (the first professional league formed) and although they never challenged for the Stanley Cup, exhibition games against the Canadian teams proved them to be the only able opponents on many occasions. Over the next few seasons the addition of top talent including Cyclone Taylor, Riley Hern, Joe Hall and the Stuart brothers would cement the Lakers, a team many believe to be one of the greatest of all time. The team is studio-posed in full uniform and includes the greatJ.L. Doc Gibson. Undivided, addressed postcard back with 1906 postage cancellation. In average condition with a scrape affecting the image of one player, a short inked note on the blank area on the front and a slight tear at the extreme left edge.
