Hockey News (1968-1970 and then around 1975 to 2001 and then a f Introduction
Approximately 1250 issues. I purchased them off the news stand religiously for about 25 years (mid 1970s to 2001). I would just read them once and then throw them in a box or store them on bookshelves. I did not cut any articles out of them (I noticed in another post someone said they did this with their collection). I also have about 100 issues between 1968-1971 (purchased them many years ago from a guy in Saint John). The Hockey News has definitely changed appearance over the years - in my collection they start off being sold for 25 cents and were black and white. In the later 1970's - color photos. Then around the year 2000 the size shrunk. I googled to find the first issue that Wayne Gretzky appeared on the cover (Oct 27, 1978) - see one of the photos (my picture taking leaves a alot be be desired) and also the issue when he entered the hall of fame (Dec. 10, 1999). Between 1976 and 2001, I probably only missed a few (I blame it on the Mazzucca's not able to set an issue aside for me LOL). In the photos, the 4 stacks on the black board and on the white shelving unit, 8 stacks are Hockey News (another 11 stacks are Sporting News from the same era). I would definitely prefer to move the Hockey News as one lot and not sell particular issues or years.
