Cool offering here from Harold "Mush" March, the man who scored the first-ever goal at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1931 and was a Black Hawk for all of his 17 seasons in the NHL. We have Mush's 1930's commercial league jersey, wonderfully lettered in felt on the front as "Mush Service March" and on the back simply as "Mush", from the days when his service station sponsored the league. Preserved in outstanding condition with only some dirt on the white cuffs and collar to note, and which has a tag sewn on the inside hem as "Great Western Athletic Goods Co. Chicago". Also included are Mush's CCM Tacks skates worn by him in the 1960s and in great condition with normal scuffing , slight rust on one blade, and a separation of leather on the bottom of the boot. Comes with an LOA. The Letter of Provenance that comes with this lot includes the explanation from Mush’s son Harold that his father owned a Standard Oil service station in Chicago and the jersey was used to play in a commercial men’s hockey league sponsored by Mush’s service station. To help stay in shape, March and his friends would play in the non-contact league for fun and exercise. The CCM Tacks, used by March in the 1960s, are a size 7 ½ and also come from the Mush March collection. Mush would be a member of two Stanley Cup-winning squads with Chicago, in 1934 and in 1938.
