Best known as the long-time owner of the Chicago Black Hawks, William “Bill” Wirtz also served as team president for over four decades, with his contribution to hockey earning him enshrinement within the HOF in 1976. We have a cheque signed by the important builder. At just under 3 ½” x 8 ½” and with “Chicago Black Hawks Team Inc” branding, the cheque calls for $24,757.64 to be paid to the NHL, with William Wirtz signing above, along with Arthur M. Wirtz Jr. beneath. Dated Feb 27th 1962, “Gate Receipts” has been written on pencil on the reverse, with cancellation stamps present. With just a few touches to each corner, the cheque survives in wonderful condition.
