Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2013
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/5/2013
Presenting the 1943 Allan Cup Champion Ottawa Commandos in an outstanding 7.5" x 9.5 " black and white photo mounted on a 12" x 14" mat. What a powerhouse team this must have been, with players such as Sugar Jim Henry, Ken Reardon, Ken Kilrea, Neil and Mac Colville, and Alex Shibicky among the group. Also offered is a rare Commandos media guide from 1941-42, featuring wonderful pictures of the players in both their hockey and soldiers' uniforms. The guide measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" and aside from slightly worn edges and corners, and a slight tear on the cover, remains in excellent condition. And if you were to compare the team pictures from the large '43 photo and the one on the guide, you'll see that both are the same, with the large picture having trainer Bill (Pop) McLean on the left and forward Sammy Fasano on the right superimposed into the group. The Ottawa Commandos were part of the Quebec Senior Hockey League from 1942 to 1945.
