Newspaper Photograph Signed: "Tony Mckegney," in green felt tip pen. B/w, 7¼x10. Photo
affixed to cardstock. Tony Mckegney (b. 1958) is a retired NHL right winger who played
thirteen seasons of professional hockey with the Buffalo Sabres (1978-1983), Quebec
Nordiques (1983-1985), Minnesota North Stars (1986-1987), New York Rangers
(1986-1987), St. Louis Blues (1987-1989), Detroit Red Wings (1989-1990), and Chicago
Blackhawks (1990-1991). Before he joined the NHL, Mckegney signed a deal with the
WHA's Birmingham team; however, the owner illegally cancelled the contract after
protests ensued against Mckegney because he was an African American. Mckegney would
become the victor overall when the WHA went defunct and the NHL drafted him to the
Sabres in 1978. Mckegney had an impressive career, playing 912 games, earning 320 goals and
319 assists. He also established the record for most points in a given season scored by a
black player (78 points in 1987-88 season), which was not broken until 2001 by Jarome
Iginla. Lightly creased from adhesive. Edges lightly worn. Toned. Pencil note in unknown
hand on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
