Newspaper Photograph Signed: "Doug Wickenheiser," in blue felt
tip pen. B/w, 6¼x6½. Photo affixed to cardstock. Doug Wickenheiser
(1961-1999) was a professional ice hockey center who played 10 seasons in
the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, New
York Rangers and the Washington Capitals between 1980 and 1990. A few years
after he retired, Wickenheiser noticed an irregular lump in his wrist and
discovered it was a malignant cyst. He had the mass removed; however, he soon
learned that he had inoperable cancer of the lungs. Two years after being
diagnosed, Wickenheiser died from brain and lung cancer in 1999. He was only
37 years old. To honor him, Wickenheiser's father-in-law Ted
Pepple wrote the book The Last Face Off: The Doug Wickenheiser
Story. In his hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan an arena was named after
him to commemorate his life and legacy. In the NHL, Wickenheiser played 556 with
111 goals and 165 assists. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine
condition.
