Currently a European scout for the Vancouver Canucks, Inge Hammarstrom spent five season with the Maple Leafs during the early to mid 1970's. We offer here a document and contract collection for the Swedish native from his time with Toronto. All of the documents and signatures included are in excellent condition, with just expected light wear from handling. Interestingly, his Standard Players Contract for 1973 lists a 2000.00 bonus for either an All-Star birth, or Rookie of the Year honors, or a 1000.00 bonus for runner-up to either of those accolades. Both have been crossed out in pen and initialed by Hammarstrom. The complete breakdown of documents and signatures are as follows;
5a. NHL Standard Player’s Contract & Appendix dated June 19, 1973 – 1973/74 and 74/75 Rookie contract signed by Hammarstrom, Gregory and Clarence Campbell; Appendix also signed by Hammarstrom and Gregory. [Note: I think the witnesses may be Hammarstrom’s Swedish agents.]
5b. NHL Standard Player’s Contract dated October 1, 1977 – 1977/78 contract with original Ziegler signature [Note: photocopy of contract was treated as original and signed by Ziegler.]
5c. Four Photocopies of: NHL Standard Player’s Contract dated April 28, 1974 – one for the 1974-77 seasons; 3 copies of 1977-79 seasons.
