Historical Hockey Memorabilia Winter 2012

Fabulous image of Edouard "Newsy" Lalonde captures the Cornwall, Ontario native as a member of the Vancouver Lacrosse Club and is dated "1920" on the front. Known as the fastest skater, a top scorer and one of the roughest of his era on the ice, Lalonde was also a top-notch lacrosse player. So great in fact that in 1950 he was named Canada's player of the half-century, the same year as he was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Matte-finish real photo postcard is missing its two lower corners and has multiple publication stamps/writing on the reverse, including "Montreal Star". A couple of pinholes and a two-inch crack/crease are also to note, but a rare piece featuring a hockey icon.
