Jim Szymanski drove to the Newark Airport North Terminal to retrieve the sticks. Inadvertently, he noted to the Customs Agents these new sticks had a hollow shaft which made them stronger, though more flexible. That statement caused a delay as a drug sniffing German Shepard was brough in to inspect the cargo before it could be released. Lesson learned. This stick from that shipment, more than 50 years old, is still brand new – never used. 1973-74 Bergen Brewers Pin Contributor: Helene Vaccaro-Fall 1973-74 Bergen Brewers Puck Contributor: Joe Walker 1973-74 Bergen Brewers Puck Contributor: Sallie Jordan 1973-74 Bergen Brewers Schedule Contributor: Chuck Podgurski 1973-74 Ironbound House League PeeWees 1 Contributor: Chuck Prestinari Jude Tonzola, Billy Leppla 1973-74 Ironbound House League PeeWees 2 Contributor: Chuck Prestinari Chuck Prestinari 1974 Brewers vs. Hawthorne News Article Contributor: Bobbi Carlon Pete Dowd, Joe Walker, Jim Rosa, Joe McKeon, Steve Lamann, Larry Clayton, Bruce Farenwald, Jay Andrews 1974 Brick High School Alumni Game Contributor: Bobbi Carlon Brick High School, Joe McKeon, Walt Lucca, Jim Rosa, Larry Clayton, Joe McKeon, Steve Kull, Pete Dowd, John Kull, Steve Thompson, Don Furcello, Jay Andrews, Bruce Farrenwald 1974 Cedar Grove Hockey Club Awards Dinner Contributor: Mark Timmons Bill Chadwick - Bobby Hildebrandt - Mark Timmons 1974 Cedar Grove Hockey Club Organizational Meeting Contributor: Mark Timmons 1974 Garden State Astros Logo Concept Contributor: Matthew Maniscalco 1974 Garden State Grovers Logo Concept Contributor: Matthew Maniscalco 1974 Ironbound Holiday Tournament Awards Ceremony Contributor: Chuck Prestinari Charlie Prestinari, Jack Snyder, Richie Ridcilo, PJ Smith, John Huryk, Joe Kozlowski, Adam Shubsda 1974 Newark Sabres Bus Trip to Rome, NY Contributor: Chuck Prestinari Charlie Prestinari, Ken Ross, Bobby Prestinari, Chuck Prestinari 1974-75 Cedar Grove Hockey Club PeeWee B Contributor: Mark Timmons Mark Timmons - Scott McDonough - Randy McAdam 1975 Danny Michaels Ice Palace Summer League Contributor: Ben Leuzzi Very first time New York Golden Blades equipment ever worn by youth players. | Roy Wright, Jeff Bastone, Bryan Kull, Kurt Dade, Like Bearfield, Jon Martine 1975 New Jersey Golden Blades Locker Room Contributor: Ben Leuzzi Crooker, McManamey, Clarke, Winters, Dade, Thomas, Pollak, Garrigan, Bove 1975 New Jersey Golden Blades - Jim the Trainer Contributor: Ben Leuzzi 1975 New Jersey Golden Blades First Puck Drop Contributor: Ben Leuzzi Ralph Bove - Walt MacPeek 1975 Newark Sabres Puck Contributor: Chuck Prestinari 1975 Newark Star Ledger New Jersey Golden Blades Article Contributor: Ben Leuzzi Ben Leuzzi, Jim Szymanski 1975-76 Livingston High School JV Schedule Contributor: Carole Garrigan Jim Tressito 1975-76 New Jersey Golden Blades - Jim the Trainer Contributor: Carole Garrigan 1975-76 New Jersey Golden Blades Game/Practice Schedule Contributor: Carole Garrigan 1976 Brick Township High School Gordon Cup & State Champs Contributor: Bobbie Carlon Oren Barnfield, Scott Barnfield, Doran Barnfield, Chris Blackburn 1976 Newark Star Ledger Article - December - Carl Deluca Contributor: Tim Mullin Carl Deluca at SMA w/ Karl Strom 1976 Newark Star Ledger Article - December - Jack LeClair Contributor: Tim Mullin 1976 Newark Star Ledger Article - December - Tom McKewon Contributor: Tim Mullin Delbarton High School Coach - Tom McKeown 1976 Ste Foy, Quebec Hockey Mineur Pennant Contributor: Mark Timmons 1977 Bergen Mall Ice Skating Ad Contributor: Robert Triebe 1977 Essex County Park Commission Hockey School Report Card Contributor: Jim Szymanski John Warchol 1977 Essex County Park Commission Summer Hockey School Contributor: Jim Szymanski John Warchol w/ Carl Annibale - John w/ Duane Utkewicz & Paul Critchley 1977 Hockey North Letterhead & Business Card Contributor: Peter Caggiano Load More Up
