Month of Mail - November 2024

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. 


                     Corbett Denneny (d. 1963)
From 1917 to 1928 Corb Denneny scored over 100 goals in just 176 NHL games. He was one of the top players for the 1918 Stanley Cup winning Toronto Arenas and 1922 Cup winning Toronto St. Pats. His brother is Hockey Hall of Famer Cy Denneny.

                          Fern "Curly" Headley (d. 1956)
Fern Headley spent 1 season in the NHL. He played 30 games in 1924-25 between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. He was the first player traded/loaned from the Bruins to the Canadiens.

                         Jack Riley (d. 1993)
From 1932 to 1936 Jack Riley scored 10 goals and 32 points in 102 NHL games. He played for the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins. 

             Bobby (Bobbie) Burns (d. 1995)
From 1928 to 1930 Bobby Burns played 20 games in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks.

                      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.
