Murdoch (misspelled "Murdock") amazingly never missed a game during his NHL career, which as a member of the New York Rangers, lasted from 1926 through 1937 (508 games). He won a Memorial Cup, an Allan Cup, and a pair of Stanley Cups as a player and after his retirement he went on to coach Yale's hockey team from 1938 to 1965. Interestingly he is also related to Ken Dryden and Mark Messier, as well as former NHLer's Bob and Don Murdoch. Graded 4 VG-EX by SGC, this is one of only 6 graded by them (1 of 2, 2 higher), with PSA only reporting 14 in their database. 20 total examples between to the two most prominent vintage grading companies confirms the relative scarcity.
