1973-74 New York Golden Blades   posted 3-18-05

Andre Lacroix  -  Cosby durene knit, size .  All the Golden Blades jersey were made by Cosby out of NY city, when the team moved to New Jersey and became the NJ Knights, they sold the entire set of Golden Blades jersey to Verona Sports in NJ.  The owner then took all the names of the backs and replaced the Cosby tags in the collars with Verona Sports.  They then used them for their men’s hockey team for many years until collectors started to buy them, then they stopped wearing them.  I have only seen 3 all intact Golden Blades that were not used by Verona Sports. Andre was one of the most prolific scores on WHA history.  This is the only team Andre does not have in his personal collection.  A must for any WHA collector.
