Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2020
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/20/2020
Get ready for a blast from junior hockey’s past in this lot which is highlighted by 29 vintage pucks featuring teams from the WCHL and its successor, today’s Western Hockey League. First, we take a trip back to the 1970s with four tough blank-backed pucks from teams like the Edmonton Oil Kings, Winnipeg Clubs, Victoria Cougars, and New Westminster Bruins. Next up is a souvenir puck from the 1973 Memorial Cup with an official CAHA logo on the reverse, and three scarce WCHL pucks with red lettering on the league logo for the Medicine Hat Tigers (2) and Winnipeg Clubs.
There are also 10 WCHL pucks which have the league logo in orange. You will appreciate the old school logos from forgotten teams such as the Cougars, Lethbridge Broncos, Seattle Breakers (x2), Calgary Wranglers (x2), and the Billings Bighorns to go along with established franchises like the Brandon Wheat Kings, Saskatoon Blades, and Portland Winterhawks.
Heading into slightly more modern times, we have WHL 25th anniversary-backed pucks for the Tri-City Americans, Kamloops Blazers, Lethbridge Hurricanes, Seattle Thunderbirds (x2), Swift Current Broncos, and Medicine Hat. Also part of this grouping is a regular Tacoma Rockets puck and another which has Inaugural Season noted below the logo. The final puck is a 75th anniversary Memorial Cup puck from the 1993 event which was limited to 750 copies. Overall, the pucks present nicely, but some will show signs of wear or aging.
The lot also includes a large assortment of programs dating between 1972-73 and 1987-88. There are 30 programs which were sold at New Westminster games and seven from Kelowna Buckaroos contests. Condition will vary based on publication and many will have box scores filled in while a handful have contest entries removed. There are also two books to complete the lot with one being about the Memorial Cup and the other covering the history of the Kamloops Blazers.
