Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2024
Playing two seasons with his hometown Regina Pats in the WJCHL, Paul Masnick had an especially memorable year with the club in 1949-50, scoring 87 points in just 40 games, along with an additional 23 points in 9 playoff games. In the WJCHL playoff semi-finals, Masnick scored the overtime winner in Game 2 of the best-of-five series. In the finals vs Lethbridge, Masnick managed 4 points in Game 3 en route to a 6-5 win, and 3-2 series win. The Pats would advance to the Memorial Cup and make it to the final, losing to a strong Montreal Junior Canadiens squad with Masnick posting 27 points in 14 Memorial Cup games. Originating from his personal collection, we have Masnick's Regina Pats collection which includes a 1947-48 juvenile Pats Provincial plaque, 1949-50 Alta Distributors Pats trophy, three Pats patches, a Pats team photo with Masnick and a small newspaper scrap book with articles from Masnick's youth career including with the Pats. The Provincial wooden shield-shaped plaque is approx 7" x 10" with mounted metal components, while the small trophy is 6" with engraved details including "West Jr League Champs (WJCHL) P. Masnick 49/50". The colourful patches appear to be from jackets including one with "Midgets", one with "Juveniles 1947-48" and one more elaborate with "Western Canada Champs 49-50". The team photo is 8" x 9 1/2" with a 12" x 14" matte, with Masnick pictured in the back right corner. The scrapbook is 8 1/2" x 11 1/2", with some yellowing to the clear tape used to affix the newspaper clippings. An LOA from Classic Auctions will accompany.
