0205----1946 Gordie Howe Omaha Knights 2 goal ticket at St. Paul Saints

0205----1946 GORDIE HOWE OMAHA KNIGHTS 2 GOAL TICKET AT ST. PAUL SAINTS Original ticket stub from a game played Jan 6, 1946, Omaha Knights at St. Paul Saints. As a 17 year old future star, Gordie Howe played one season  for the 45-46 Omaha Knights in the USHL.    As Omaha newspaper accounts show (see below) "Gordon" scored two goals in the Knights 3-1 road victory at the St. Paul Auditorium.   Howe played in 51 games recording 22 goals and adding 26 assists, good enough for 3rd place in scoring. Looking at the Knights roster, he was the youngest player on the team. Although the year is not printed on the tickets, I was able to confirm by checking a perpetual calendar for the month and day in January of 1946. Only three possibilities:   1935, 1946, and 1957 The St. Paul Saints did not play on January 6 in 1935. The Saints did not even have a team in 1957. The Howe ticket measures 1-3/4 x 1-1/2 and is in good condition with some creasing, and very light scrapbook glue on the back. Research below IS NOT included with the sale of the ticket.   ** In the team photo, Gordie Howe is the second player from the left in the back row of five players ** * * * * * * * * * *
