"In regards to my ankle it sure got a bad break it is cracked three places around the ankle. The main bone is broken above the ankle and the small bone is broken in the side of the leg. It looks like curtains for me as far as hockey is concerned. I look back and say that I was fortunate at that. It’s a wonder I never broke my neck. Thank God I have that at least." -Howie Morenz
— A rare letter from Habs legend Howie Morenz, just shortly before his death, is now on the block through
Classic Auctions.
The letter comes from the estate of Morenz's former teammate Mary Burke.
The letter is one of hundreds of items up for bid, and we'll feature some of these over the coming days.
Another unique Morenz item is his
1923-24 rookie card graded a 6 by PSA. There is no other higher graded rookie card of the Stratford Streak.
