Month of Mail - June 2024

June, 2024 was a relatively slow month for me that saw two new NHL autographs and two new NHL official autographs arrive.

The grand total of unique NHL player autographs in my collection now stands at 7,602 for 93% of everyone to ever play in the league. 

Lex Chisholm (d. 1981)

From 1939 to 1941 Lex Chisholm played 54 regular season games in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored 10 goals and 18 points for the Maple Leafs.

Chisholm goes with my 1939-40 season in autographs. 

Neil Strain (d. 1989)

Neil Strain spent one season in the NHL, scoring 11 goals and 24 points in 52 games with the 1952-53 New York Rangers.

Strain is added to the 1952-53 season of debuts.

Dom Baolto

Dom Baolto was an NHL linesman during the 1940s and 1950s. There is criminally little written about the NHL's early officials including Baolto but he worked some important games over his career.

Baolto and Cvik go with my collection of NHL official autographs.

Mike Cvik

Mike Cvik was an NHL linesman who worked over 1,800 NHL games throughout his long career. He worked in the NHL from 1987 to 2016. He was a towering figure who stood at 6 foot 9 inches.
