Up today, just a couple cards that I added to my COMC order simply because they had the players wearing memorial items as part of the uniform.
It wasn't until after they arrived that I realized both perished in transportation related circumstances.
Stan Humphries has the #22 on his helmet. That's in memory of Rodney Culver, who was killed along with his wife in the Valujet crash in May of 1996. You'd think an active player would at least warrant a patch as opposed to just a sticker by his team.
Pelle Lindbergh got a patch at least. He died in a single-vehicle impaired driving accident in 1985. Nothing like ending up as a cautionary in the form of a memorial patch.
Hopefully, something more upbeat next time.
But there you have it!
