Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2014
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/25/2014
Interesting 1958 NHL Assignment Agreement featuring 3 parties – goaltender Gerry McNamara, Toronto Maple Leafs GM George "Punch" Imlach, and Cleveland Barons GM James Hendy. This agreement has Imlach assigning McNamara to the Barons for $1.00, with the rights to repurchase for the same sum at the end of the 1958-59 playoffs. HOFers Imlach (inducted 1984, dec. 1987), and Hendy (ind. 1969, dec. 1961), have both signed in clear blue pen, as have 2 witnesses. As a sidenote, McNamara would eventually become co-GM with Imlach in the early-80s and hold the job on his own for the next 6 years. This agreement is in great condition with only some age yellowing to note James Hendy is also widely acclaimed as the man who created the wonderful Hendy NHL Hockey Guides that began in 1933 and ran for decades.
