This treasure is the perfect treasure for any NHL “Original Six” hockey enthusiasts and/or stamp collectors. Canada Post's 2014 NHL Original Six series highlights a star from each team in the era that ended with NHL expansion in 1967. "The six hockey legends celebrated by Canada Post defined, and in some cases redefined, the defensive position at a golden time in the sport's history," says the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transport and responsible for Canada Post. "Hockey transcends sport in Canada. It's part of our very fabric."

Pierre Pilote: Chicago Blackhawks, Number 3. Born in Kénogami, Quebec, and raised in Fort Erie, Ontario, Pilote won the Norris Trophy three times from 1963 to 1965. He earned places on the NHL's All-Star teams for seven consecutive years from 1960 to 1967. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975.
