Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2014
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/17/2014
It was the beginning of a soon-to-be dynasty on Long Island, the Islanders teams of the mid-1970s, led by rugged superstar Denis Potvin, veteran Eddie Westfall, and feisty Billy Smith in goal, and who were starting to make noises and on the verge of having future superstars Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy join the lineup. Offered is a wooden junior Koho hockey stick (55") signed in black marker by 20 stars of this circa 1977 squad, including Denis Potvin, Billy Smith, Chico Resch, Bob Nystrom, Clark Gillies, Ed Westfall, Bob Bourne, and 13 more. The Islanders were just a few years away from their 4 straight Cup wins, and this earlier team was paving the way. Other sigs on this stick include Lorne Henning, Bill Harris, Jean Potvin, Garry Howatt, Dave Lewis, Gerry Hart, Bert Marshall, Andre St. Laurent, Ralph Stewart, and four others. The signatures are all bold, with just a couple on the blade showing some smudging. All in all, a fine team-signed stick from a dynasty in the making.
