It is the game program from the Howie Morenz benefit game on November 2nd, 1937.Collecting game programs is an intense passion for some collectors. The more famous the game the more valuable the prize. Few games are as famous as the Morenz game.
The game was played at the Montreal Forum, and pitted a team of NHL All Stars against players of the Montreal Canadiens and Montreal Maroons. The proceeds of the game were given to the family of the late-Howie Morenz, the NHL's first superstar. He had died the previous March due to complications of a broken leg he suffered in his final NHL game.
This particular program consists of 56 articles. Included inside are tribute articles penned by Elmer Ferguson, Baz O'Meara and Len Rountree.
The program is available at ClassicAuctions.net. The price of the item at the time of this publishing is a steal.
