Recognized as two of the greatest goaltenders in history and the premier duo of the Original Six era, we offer programs featuring Terry Sawchuk (2) and Jacques Plante in the line-ups in games prior to their HOF NHL careers. Included, we have programs from the 1948-49 (March 20th vs Pittsburgh - final game of the season) and 1949-50 (Oct 12th vs Buffalo) Indianapolis Capitals season with Sawchuk in the line-up, with the 1948-49 program showing a full team photo including Sawchuk on the back cover. Terry would be called up for his very first NHL game on Jan 8, 1950, and stay with the Red Wings for 7 games before returning to Indianapolis to finish out the season. The Plante Buffalo Bison 1953-54 program is from Oct 11th vs Providence, with Plante featured on the cover. There is also a Bison team photo with Plante on page 11. Jacques would play in 3 games for Montreal in 1952-53, and be called up again for 17 games including 8 playoff matches in 1953-54, beginning on Nov 1st. These historic programs both show handling wear with a small piece missing from the cover of the 1949-50 Capitals program, with the season, date and opponent handwritten on the Bison program.
