This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/16/2010
Hockey legend Lester Patrick has signed along with fellow Hall-of-Famer Frank Boucher on this sheet of Patrick's letterhead autographed by members of the 1944-45 New York Rangers. In addition to the two deceased HOFers, this autographed signed at the height of wartime hockey features a number of hard-to-come-by signatures from players who enjoyed relatively brief NHL careers. Patrick is the first to have signed a 9 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of his own Madison Square Garden Corporation letterhead under a handwritten heading that reads "New York Rangers, Season 1944-45". The Silver Fox's signature in black fountain pen ink is followed by Rangers coach Boucher, Phil Watson, Hal Cooper, Hank Goldup, Walt Atanas, Fred Hunt, Ott Heller, Bob Dill, Ken McAuley, Chuck Scherza in the column on the left. Kilby Macdonald, Ab DeMarco, Fred Thurier, Bucko McDonald, Grant Warwick and Joe Shack have signed in order in the column on the right.
