The puck starts here! This is the actual puck Craig Patrick used to score his first NHL goal on October 31, 1971, as a member of the California Golden Seals. It sits atop a wood base harboring a gold plaque that reads: "First NHL Goal, California Seals-Buffalo Sabres, October 31, 1971, Craig Patrick." The puck actually reads: "Oakland Seals" surrounding a colorful logo. The trophy holding the puck measures just under 7" tall and is in EX condition. Patrick played for five NHL teams in nine seasons before becoming a highly successful general manager.
