Months of Mail - September & October 2024

A couple of new NHL autographs recently added. 2 new NHL player signatures brings the grand total up to 7,619 for 93% of everyone to ever play in the league. 
I have been busy adding the more recent NHL debuts and I'll be posting the 2021-22 year of debuts page soon. 


                   Tony Feltrin
From 1980 to 1986 Tony Feltrin played 48 NHL games between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers. A denfenseman, he recorded 3 goals and 6 points in the NHL.
Feltrin has long worked with the NHL's St. Louis Blues as a scout and I've tried reaching him via the team many, many times over the years. This last request, which I had sent in 2022, actually found its way back to me. Talk about an unexpected return! Replies like this are what keep me going to the mailbox. I'm down to just about 30 living former NHL players so when I get one back, it truly makes my day. 

                          Allan Shields (d. 1975)
From 1927 to 1938 Allan Shields played just under 500 NHL games. He played for the Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Quakers, New York Americans, Montreal Maroons, and Boston Bruins. The well travelled Shields is most notable for helping the Maroons win the Stanley Cup in 1935.
I had my eye on this President's Choice LumberGraph card for a while and a recent sale on the site was the excuse I needed to pull the trigger.

                   Glenn Critch
Glenn Critch played 3 games in the WHA with the 1976-77 Indianapolis Racers. He was a star senior hockey player in Newfoundland and his short stint in the WHA was his only taste of pro hockey. When making this card, I couldn't even locate a playing days photo of Critch!
