Frank C. Foyston could dominate almost any game he played in. He played for some of the top teams and was one of the first players to score over 200 career goals. Foyston made his professional debut with the Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey Association in 1912-13 and led them to the NHA title in 1913-14 and their subsequent Stanley Cup championship win over the Victoria Cougars of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, with Foyston netting the game winner. In 1915-16 he went to the Seattle Metropolitans of the PCHA, where he stayed for nine seasons, topping the league in goal-scoring twice, and helped lead them to a Cup. The Hall of Famer was one of the greatest talents of his time. Photo is 2-1/2 x 6". Framed (8 x 12") with his signature under photo and individually matted. Obtained from a family member in Seattle in the 1960s. He passed away in 1966.
