When the Hartford Whalers moved it was a sad day; not only did the Whale leave behind a loyal fan base but one of the absolutely greatest team fight songs in the history of sports (below). While the team moved on to become the Carolina Hurricanes, some fans never did. However, this auction, perfectly situated for Easter, is one fan’s attempt to move beyond the past.
For a limited time only, (auction ends Saturday) you could finally become the owner of the autographs of the entire 1982-1983 Hartford Whalers on different colored wooden eggs. Finally!
Right now the auction is a STEAL at only $9.99, so get your bids in now.
Included in the autographs is an egg from Mr. Hockey himself, Gordie Howe, who plied his trade briefly for the Whale as well as such luminaries as:
- Russ Anderson
- Ron Francis
- Pierre Lacroix
- Paul Lawless
- Doug Sulliman
- Mike Veisor
- Chuck Kaiton – Hartford Whalers Radio
