Grinding center Orest Kindrachuk was a key member of the famed “Broad Street Bullies” Philadelphia Flyers teams of the early 1970s, anchoring a fearsome third-line with his pugnacious teammates Dave “The Hammer” Schultz and Don “Big Bird” Saleski. Kindrachuk made a two-game cameo appearance during the 1972-73 season but played a crucial role for the Flyers during their back-to-back Stanley Cup winning years in 1974 and 1975, scoring 72 points between the two seasons. Kindrachuk played six seasons for the Flyers before a trade sent him to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he served as the team’s captain for three campaigns. Kindrachuk retired after spending the 1981-82 season with the Washington Capitals.
Offered here is Orest Kindrachuk’s 1987 Golden Sports Award, presented to Kindrachuk by the Golden Slipper Club. This trophy, which depicts a large hockey player, measures approximately 14 ½ inches tall. A gold plaque on the base features a Golden Slipper Club logo, as well as the text “The Golden Sports Award / Presented to / Orest Kindrachuk / December 7, 1987 / David Fineman, President”. This item comes with a LOA from Kindrachuk.
