    Description

    Dorey was picked up from Toronto, where the aggressive rearguard made some impressions with his rugged play over 4 NHL seasons. None other than the legendary Tim Horton had predicted big things for Dorey, which was one reason the Rangers acquired him in exchange for Pierre Jarry.
    Dorey's contract was up that summer. One of the main reasons the Leafs gave him away was that they thought he would sign with the World Hockey Association. And that's is exactly what happened. Dorey jumped at an offer to join the upstart New England Whalers. The money he was offered was simply something he "couldn't refuse."
    In 4 seasons in the National Hockey League, Dorey, nicknamed Flipper because of his tendency to flip the puck high over the heads of everyone in order to clear the zone, was known as a big lumbering defenseman who took many penalties. In fact in his rookie season he established a then-record 48 penalty minutes in one game en route to a 200 PIM season!
    I'm selling a collection for a friend who was in his early teens back in 1974 and 1975, sent letters and notes to players and teams. On the teams he talked about last year’s season and asked about what the team would do this year. Over the years he has collected autographs that are in this collection
    He would put personal notes or questions for players asking them to answer him back. Some sent notes others pictures.
    Some of the autographs are personalized with his name Mark best wishes, good luck or just the signature.
    I don't know or grade autographs so please look at the scans and decide if you want to bid on it.
    He gave me a box to sell and said his know he has more so keep looking for more items.
    I will ship 1st class mail and will combine shipping on all autographs.
