One of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s original 9 inductees, Howie Morenz was the Montreal Canadiens first major superstar, with a dozen years spent representing the sacred CH which included 3 Stanley Cup championships. Morenz passed away at the age of 34 on March 8, 1937, from complications resulting from an on-ice incident. We have a memorial program from the benefit game staged that fall to benefit the fallen star’s family, when a team of NHL All-Stars and a combination of Canadiens and Maroons faced off at the Montreal Forum on November 2. This 56-page program features an intact center line-up which boasts legends such as Shore, Horner, Conacher, Jackson, Day and Shriner pitted against the likes of Joliat, Lepine, Blake, Beveridge, Ward, Gagnon and Siebert, among others.
Solid and complete with the covers still firmly attached, moderate to heavy foxing has taken place on the vintage publication, with both the front and back covers affected, with some heavy rusting to the staples. There are also a few small pen marks on the cover, with light toning to the interior along with a few small tears to pages. Also included, we have an 8” x 10” 1955-56 Canadiens team picture in poor condition, with a secretarial signature of Frank Selke.
