Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2022
The final original season of NHL hockey in Ottawa, with the Senators arguably the greatest club in the world during the early-1900s, the 1933-34 season witnessed the team finish in the basement of the Canadian Division, with netminder Bill Beveridge registering 13 wins. Relocating to St Louis the following season, big league hockey would finally return to the nation's capital in 1992. This Ottawa Auditorium program hails from the Sens final season, and was produced for a Nov 16, 1933 tilt against the season's eventual Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Black Hawks. Featuring a Sens schedule along with a list of past Cup winners, the program also contains a short biography of George Boucher along with a full-page photo of the Detroit Red Wings' Doug Young. The intact centerfold line-up is detached, with legendary backstop Charlie Gardiner listed in the Black Hawks net. Won by the visitors 2-1, with HOFer Art Coulter scoring the game winner, the program is dated by the inclusion of Ted Saunders in the Sens line-up, with the only game played by the Ottawa resident at home against the Black Hawks occurring on Nov 16, 1933 (Saunders has also signed the cover, and we should note that he was the last surviving original Ottawa Senator upon his death, in 2002). Regarding condition, the pages all remain firmly attached to the staples (minus the line-up), with some vertical creasing to the front and back covers.
