J’ai récemment reçu ce programme dédicacé du Match des étoiles de la LNH de 1947 de ma défunte grand-mère, qui vivait à Vernon, en Colombie-Britannique, à l’époque. Je suis un peu confus – il semble que le premier match officiel des étoiles de la LNH n’a eu lieu qu’en 47-48 et a été joué à Toronto (avec les Leafs contre les All Stars). Je ne trouve rien sur ce jeu, ni pourquoi ils joueraient à Vernon. Faisaient-ils une tournée à travers le pays ? Autographes inclus : Dick Irvin (Sr.) Bill Durnan Leo Lamoureux Toe Blake Kenny Reardon Turk Broda Leo Gravelle Jimmy Conacher Jimmy Peters Pete Horeck Doug McCaig Max McNab Ted Lindsay Bill Quackenbush Max Bentley Grant Warwick Bob Fillion Malheureusement, pas de Maurice Richard, ce qui a probablement contrarié ma grand-mère sans fin. Quelqu’un a des infos sur ce jeu ?

The phone number to the electric company is ’53’. Amazing.
Reminds me of this gem

The fabulous fat man😂
All seriousness, this is pretty cool to see. Plus Bill Quackenbush is an elite name
That is incredible! I love the old school signatures where you can actually read the name
this is so freaking cool
Amazing to see milk advertised as a beauty product
Missed the chance to honor Stéphan Lebeau.
$10 a quart for milk?
And here I thought old nan said it was two pents back in her day
Never thought a game like this would be in Vernon. That would be something if the NHL had the all star game in a place like that in this day and age.
That’s a looooong way from the O6. Very cool!
That’s amazing. This arena outlasted all the advertisers and was sadly torn down about 5 years ago.
I personally love the concept of an All-Star team playing against an NHL roster/host city.
Kinda neat
That is cool as hell.
Weird, I can’t seem to find any info on this game either.
Probably just a coincidence, but I did notice that Larry Kwong (the NHL’s first non-white player) was from Vernon and made his debut around this time.
They need to bring back the All-star vs cup champions format
I read this in my head in the kind of old timey voice you’d see on old news reels.
It’s pretty neat that they held all star games that far west back then as well – I’d imagine the players all took the train across the continent.
