4/13/1974 YVAN COURNOYER Goal Scored PUCK vs New York Rangers from Quarterfinals Game #3 at Madison Square Garden. It comes from 1973/74 NHL Registered Goal Program and is Registered as #MC-2P-009.

This was the 2nd of 2 Goals scored by "The Roadrunner" this night in a 4-2 victory over the Rangers to take a 2 games to 1 lead in the series. It was Cournoyer's 5th of the PLAYOFFS (49th Carrer Playoffs Goal) and was scored at 00:49 of the 2nd period. Both Cournoyer's goals in this game were UNASSISTED !

In 1972 founders of a company named Hockey Diversified Inc. envisioned that each puck shot into the net to produce an official goal scored in an NHL hockey game would develop a degree of intrinsic collector value for hockey fans everywhere. The founders took this idea to the NHL and procured the rights to all such NHL pucks during regular season and playoff games for a period of five years. Pucks shot into the net for a goal were collected by the referees, given to the time keepers to label and then shipped to Hockey Diversified to further label with scoring details. The pucks were then marketed to the public by Hockey Diversified Inc. Unfortunately, this idea was ahead of its time and pucks sold poorly. The program lasted only two seasons, 1972-73 and 1973-74. Hockey Diversified Inc. dissolved shortly thereafter.

Each puck originally distributed by Hockey Diversified could be obtained by mail with the buyer’s choice of team and possibly player. A label was affixed to each puck listing the scorer, team and date, along with a code that divulged which team-goal said puck accounted for.

AMAZING HISTORICAL PUCK !!
