This plaque was presented to Philadelphia Flyers left winger Dave Schultz in honor of “The Hammer” scoring his first NHL goal. Schultz scored this goal on October 12th, 1972, during the Flyers home opener at the Spectrum against the visiting Vancouver Canucks.

Beneath the plate is a hockey puck with the Flyers logo which has two gold plated hockey sticks on each side. This item comes with a full LOA from Dave Schultz.
