Photos of the Collection Updates For February 23rd and 24th and March 2nd and 5th, 2007

While I could do descriptions for what I've added to my collection recently, I think I'll let the pictures do the talking this time...especially as someone just glad to have everything finally updated.

February 23rd, 2007

The back of the 1993-94 Pittsburgh Penguins Highlights video.

And in honor of that date being the first anniversary of Ron Francis Day in Sault Ste. Marie, ON...

And yes, you are seeing the ticket correct...it says "No. 248". What it doesn't say is that it was/is out of the *very limited* number of 350 or so.

February 24th, 2007

The most noteworthy pictures from the Penguins Reports...

From the January 9th, 1998 visit to the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital.

The poster in the "Ron Francis Tribute" issue.

The second of three times Ronnie would ever get to hold the Prince of Wales Trophy.

Ronnie's *very brief* stint of coaching during the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Florida Panthers, thanks to injuring his leg before the series began.

From the 1992 Stanley Cup celebration at Three Rivers Stadium.

And last, but certainly not least, Ronnie with one of the many participants in his then beginning "Night Out" charity program...which continued through into his time playing with the Carolina Hurricanes.

March 2nd, 2007

The 1994-95 Penguins Calendar...cover and Ron's respective page.

Ron's being featured as "Player of the Week" in The Hockey News.

And last, but certainly not least...

Quite possibly the last Junior Hockey Magazine (circa September/October 1981) to mention Ron Francis, at least as a Soo Greyhound, before his big call-up to the Whale.
