Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
Women's hockey dates back to Lady Isobel Stanley, Lord Stanley of Preston's daughter, playing with a stick and puck on the outdoor rink at Rideau Hall in Ottawa in the 1890s when her father was the governor general of Canada. This photo montage from the McDermid studios in Edmonton depicts the 1925-26 Monarch Ladies hockey team and its trophies. The team won the G. Misener Trophy as the Alberta Ladies Senior Hockey champions and the Alpine Cup as Western Canada's ladies hockey champions. The original 12" x 10" print is in very good condition, mounted on a 15" x 13 '" brown cardboard backing that shows minor fraying on the edges typical of its vintage.
The beauty of the rare photos featured in this incredible collection of hockey memorabilia is not solely in the eye of the beholder, rather it’s obvious to one and all. The pages that follow are filled with incredible treasures such as original team photos of some of the earliest Stanley Cup champions that speak to the great and broad history of the game.
