The NHL era of a league of six teams has been described as the golden age of hockey. Many of those players are considered legends of the sport.
In the late 60s a family from Massachusetts sent out mostly vinyl replica rinks that would fit in a large mail envelope to a number of those teams’ captains with a request that the entire team sign them. What resulted was in many cases, entire locker rooms (likely of those players available at that moment) signing these rinks, which are now available for sale.
Unfortunately, the condition of them is not pristine, but the memories and juxtaposition of those teams’ signatures make the rinks a one of a kind bit of hockey history and incredible memories.
These rinks are here for display to show them to the hockey loving world and for possible sale, either uniquely or the whole set. So, we welcome you to take a look and enjoy the history and/or memories. Among the autographs, these include Bobby Orr’s in his rookie season along with most of his teammates, incredible hall of famers, mostly from the Canadiens dynasty… a total of 14 autographs from that unique club.
The rinks include the following teams:
Year Team
66-67 Bruins
66-67 Canadiens Reigning Champions
68-69 Canadiens Champions & Reigning Champions
68-69 Flyers 2nd year expansion team
68-69 Oakland Seals 2nd year expansion team
