Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Fall 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/21/2022
Bringing big league hockey to Motor City during the height of the Roaring Twenties, the Detroit Cougars joined the NHL after purchasing the Victoria Cougars of the WCHL, with the team retaining the “Cougars” nickname. Only the second copy we have ever handled (we previously sold this very example back in 2006, with a second copy sold in 2012), we offer an exceedingly rare Detroit Cougars 1926-27 inaugural-season yearbook. At 3 ½” x 6”, the diminutive 25-page booklet features full-page photos/biographies of each player including HOFers Frank Fredrickson (traded to Boston mid-season) and Hap Holmes, along with a 1926-27 NHL schedule. Exhibiting just some light handling wear and toning to the interior pages, the staples remain tight, with no damage or separations to the spine. Fabulous!
