RARE, VINTAGE, 1974 OPEE CHEE, BILL GOLDSWORTHY, MINNESOTA NORTH STARS HOCKEY CARD!!!

William Alfred Goldsworthy from Waterloo, Ontario, was a Canadian Professional Hockey Right Winger who played for three teams in the NHL for 14 seasons between 1964 and 1978, mostly with the Minnesota North Stars. He retired from playing after two partial seasons in the WHA.

Signed by the Boston Bruins of the NHL as a teenager, Goldsworthy played his junior days with the Bruins’ OHA Affiliate, The Niagara Falls Flyers, a powerful team with future NHL Stars Derek Sanderson, Bernie Parent, Jean Pronovost, Don Marcotte, Doug Favell and Rosaire Paiement. Goldsworthy finished second and third in the team scoring his final two seasons with The Club, en route to a Memorial Cup Finals appearance in 1963 and winning it outright in 1965 in a series marked by brawls and suspensions. The latter season saw Goldsworthy’s NHL debut.

By 1976 / 1977, the North Stars were in a rebuilding mode, having failed to make the playoffs in three years. In a decline due to an alcoholism problem that would become chronic, Goldsworthy was dealt to the New York Rangers. Early the next season, his skills were in a sharp decline, he was the first NHL Player traded back to a WHA squad, The Indianapolis Racers where he was Player / Coach. He was traded again to the Edmonton Oilers for the 1978 / 1979 Season, where he played 17 games to finish out his playing career.
