ITPC'S FALL 2024 SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/22/2024
Here's an incredible pennant from the old EHL (Eastern Hockey League). It was issued for Long Island Ducks* (1963-645). It features their mascot and measures almost 17.5" long. There's some light discoloration, but otherwise, it is in excellent condition.
*The Ducks are most famously known for player-head coach John Brophy, who is believed to be the role model for Paul Newman's character of Reggie Dunlop in the movie Slap Shot. Brophy encouraged and epitomized "old-time hockey" and brash physical play, retired as the league's career leader in penalty minutes, and was once suspended for half of a season for knocking down a referee. Brophy was quoted as saying, "Once you're a Duck, you're a Duck for the rest of your life," as Ducks General Manager John Muckler traded Brophy six times and got him back seven times.
