Wow! Amazing cabinet photo pictures three of hockey's early and biggest stars in a Renfrew, Ontario studio, decked out in their thick Renfrew Millionaires team sweaters. The photo itself measures approximately 4" x 5 1/2" and has been mounted on thick cardboard which includes the photographer's name. Handwriting on the back lists the players and also includes "Taken in 1912". The photo remains in outstanding condition with some wear to the cardboard backing to be noted. This stirring treasure featuring 3 Hall-of-Famers was originally obtained from Newsy Lalonde's family.
Lured to the Ottawa Valley team by big bucks offered by Renfrew's wealthy owners after the National Hockey Association was formed, Newsy Lalonde, Cyclone Taylor and Frank Patrick helped to form a powerhouse team that however was not able to secure the Stanley Cup for the community. Their stays in Renfrew were short but their exploits on the ice throughout their careers are legendary.
