Ceramic Football Player Bank University of Michigan & Signed Hockey Puck Wash Capital

[Butch7999]

Hi Shawn, we're certainly no autograph experts here -- far from it -- but we do know a bit about hockey, and we're cautiously confident that one name on your puck is that of Ed Kastelic. He had three brief stints with Washington, in the 1985-86, '86-87, and '87-88 seasons, and later played a little for Hartford in the NHL. As a part-time goon -- er, "enforcer" -- we doubt his signature has much collector value and is therefore unlikely to be forged.

Working on the theory that it's a Kastelic signature and that the other name appears to be "Steve" or "Stan" something, the only Steve or Stan who played for the Caps during the years Kastelic was there was Steve Leach, and that looks to us like it's a possible reading of that autograph. Leach was only slightly less goonish -- er, "physical and aggressive" -- but he did have one pretty good season for Boston a couple of years later. Still not a high-value item in the collectibles marketplace, we'd say. But a nice artifact!
