A 1930-31 Chicago Shamrocks team signed program piece (thanks Ty!) brought 4 awesome new NHL autographs. I'm now up to 7,623 unique NHL player signatures.

Mitch Love
Mitch Love was a tough customer as a player who had 2 seasons of 200+ penalty minutes in the AHL. He never made it to the NHL as a player but in 2023 he made it to the NHL as an assistant coach with the Washington Capitals. He's in his second season with the Capitals.
This goes with my collection of NHL coaches and GMs who never played in the league.
