The 2009 Montreal Centennial Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/24/2009
Vintage real photo postcard with used, divided postcard back pictures the first US team in the Pacific Coast Hockey League. Eddie Oatman (misidentified on the note on the verso as John Oatman) captained the early squad and he poses here in the arena with seven of his teammates. The Rosebuds, playing in the league from 1914 until 1918, were the very first American team to play for the Stanley Cup when they took on the NHA Montreal Canadiens in 1916 and went down, three games to two over afive-match series. The postcard is in very good condition, with a stamped and registered back and a number of thin creases making a higher grade unobtainable.
