1951 Important photograph of Stanley Cup champion Bill Barilko who scored the winning goal in the finals and then went missing in a plane crash in Canada. The offered photograph was issued the day he was reported missing, before it was presumed he had died in the accident. The Maple Leafs would not win another Stanley Cup until the year his body was discovered in the 1960's. Songs and poems have been written about Barilko and this is one of his only images we have ever seen!
