Keith Magnuson

hockey card Keith Magnuson
(1947 - 2003)

Former player and former coach.

Autograph purchased online.

Keith Magnuson played 10 seasons in the NHL, all for the Chicago Blackhawks. He was also the head coach for one-and-a-half seasons.

Sadly, Magnuson died in a car accident in 2003. Five seasons later, the Blackhawks retired number 3 in his honor.

I was lucky enough to get Magnuson's autograph a few times in the early 1990s. Although I purchased this signed postcard online, the signature resembles all of the autographs I got in person from Maggie.
