Portland Rosebuds
Here's a real photo postcard of the team that became the Chicago Black Hawks, the 1914-1915 Portland (Oregon) Rosebuds of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. In 1916, the Rosebuds were the first U.S. squad to play for the Stanley Cup; they lost to the Montreal Canadiens. The team was also known as the Portland Uncle Sams.
The players in the top row of the large photos are Mike Mitchell, Eddie Oatman, coach Pete Muldoon, hockey Hall of Famer Moose Johnson, and Ran McDonald. In the bottom row from left are Charlie Tobin, Art Throop, Smokey Harris, and unknown.
The advertisement on the Hippodrome where the Portland Rosebuds played (center of postcard) is for "Professional Ice Hockey, Portland. vs. Victoria, BC."
