The Story of the Autograph
Don Beaupre is a former goalie in the NHL. He played from 1980 to 1997 with the Minnesota North Stars, Washington Capitals, Ottawa Senators, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Beaupre was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. He came on as a junior while playing for the Sudbury Wolves in the late 70’s. As on of the top-rated goalies in the 1980 NHL Draft he was chosen by the Minnesota North Stars with the 37 overall pick. In his first year he earned his first All-Star appearance and helped the North Stars to the Stanley Cup finals. Unfortunately they would be beaten by the New York Islanders.
At the end of the 80’s he was traded to the Washington Capitals. He would lead the league in shutouts with five in the 1990-91 season and the next season won a career high 29 games. He’d also earn another All-Star appearance in 1993 while in Washington. But soon enough a young Olaf Kolzig would supplant him and Beaupre was traded to the Ottawa Senators.
The Score on Don Beaupre – 6.0
Hockey cards can be really busy. A lot like football cards can be. I guess when you put on all those pads, especially for a goalie, that makes it a bit hard to get a good place to sign. Don did his best to get some ink on these. I think the 1991 Bowman card came out the best, but I don’t think its my favorite of the card designs at all.
Thanks Mr. Beaupre! I’m giving this return a 6.
