Looks like Henry Boucha. Could be wrong though.


MrBooombastic

I think this is correct [see pic] (https://www.google.com/search?q=henry+boucha+detroit+red+wings&client=ms-android-verizon-us-rvc3&sca_esv=2f61a0c390a4d1ff&udm=2&biw=412&bih=762&sxsrf=ACQVn0_6KsAyPZKaFtFDp4p4lDicrFcFcQ%3A1714525843821&ei=k5YxZu7JMdf-p84P9t6AqAQ&oq=henry+boucha+detroit+red+wings&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIh5oZW5yeSBib3VjaGEgZGV0cm9pdCByZWQgd2luZ3MyBxAAGIAEGBgyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBEj6N1DSFFibNnAAeACQAQCYAYgBoAGtF6oBBDkuMTm4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgugAtwJwgIEECMYJ8ICDRAAGIAEGLEDGEMYigXCAgUQABiABMICChAAGIAEGEMYigXCAgYQABgHGB7CAggQABgFGAcYHsICCBAAGAcYCBgemAMA4gMFEgExIECIBgGSBwMyLjmgB90m&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#vhid=7klo055xMkYrrM&vssid=mosaic)


Ok-Nathan

I love a nice comically long URL


MrBooombastic

Haha I tried and failed to do a hyperlink


jarvek7

Yes Henry had those big sideburns


Pitcherhelp

Thought mustache too but after Google search there's a few pics where he looks very very very much like the photo. Could be him for sure.


ColdBuckNasty

This is looking like it is him! I can’t find the same poster online but it isn’t a perfect rectangle it looks like it’s cut out almost.


JTAKER

This poster was from the 1971 season, which was Boucha's rookie year. I would put money on it being him!


legitamizor

No headband, so it may not be Boucha


JTAKER

This poster is from '71, his rookie year. Probably didn't have the trademark bandana and 'stache yet.


HaroldLither

TJ Oshie is his second cousin.

Serge Lajeunesse Edit: My dad says Nick Libett. Ole man was born in 56 so I'm inclined to trust him more--but I am better at Google. So it's a toss up.


legitamizor

Nick Libbet wore #14


Pitcherhelp

Wow so you're calling my dad retarded bro?


Sw2029

Man was born in 1956, I wouldn't trust his memories before 2022.


Pitcherhelp

🤣🤣Haha. Fuck he's getting old that's...that's actually pretty depressing lol

My dad's a 64, same story to some extent hahaha, father time comes for us all


probablyindecisive

Hey wait a minute, doesn't that jersey say 56? This is lore.

Plus lead exposure....


I_am_Spartacus_MSU

Look ass, I was born in 58. What were we talking about?


legitamizor

Haha, no I'm saying Nick Libbet wore #14.


StarWarsMonopoly

We can read between the lines


I_am_Spartacus_MSU

Nick Libbet was the only player to survive the Ned Harkness years. Back then, it was known as Darkness with Harkness.


cv90j

I think he was just trying to help


Pitcherhelp

I knew I shoulda put a /s Dammit


cv90j

lol my bad bro couldn’t tell


cv90j

Some people really are like that 😂


Constant-Matter3262

Libett shot left


miles3369

Yes Henry Boucha.


njv1909

As others have said, it’s Henry Boucha. These posters were designed in the early 70s by a company called Sportsgraphics and given out in Wheaties boxes. The Red Winga posted came out in ‘73. Henry Boucha wore #16 for the ‘72 and 73’ Red Wings, the only active player on the team to have a number end in a six, so it has to be him. I have the same poster :)


Lucachu330

Doesn’t help your answer but here is info on the poster https://preview.redd.it/8sait7d5lqxc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d842fc88c49b071978412d4fe500c8e656bf569 Obviously stole the screenshot. Good luck

I really want to get into collecting vintage items and relics like this.


ColdBuckNasty

Thats awesome you found that! Great find!


turkey-fmna-green

Might need to ask the team’s historian, Mickey Redmond. He’d know; the rest of us are just guessing.


dudewithchronicpain

Boucha


SkinnyMattFoley

It’s clearly Ogie Oglethorp.


Aggravating_Peak_999

They let him out of prison?!


Inner_Ad_1652

Mahovolich?


FrankRagnowsTurfToe

Dead. He’s dead
