Bernie Geoffrion Memorabilia & Collectibles

Also known as Boom Boom, Bernie Geoffrion was a professional hockey player and coach. He is credited by hockey scholars as one of the people who came up with the slapshot. He played in the National Hockey League for a total of 16 seasons. Geoffrion played for the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers. 

He made his debut in the NHL in 1951. Geoffrion is one of the exceptional players who were able to come up with 50 goals in a single season. He is the second player recorded to accomplish the feat. In 1955, Geoffrion was awarded with the Art Ross Trophy (which he would win again in 1961) and received Second All-Star honors. He won the Calder Memorial Trophy in 1952.  

Geoffrion was able to play in six Stanley Cup championships—in 1953, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960. He clinched the Hart Memorial Trophy in 1961. One of his notable Stanley Cup appearances was in 1958 when he encountered a serious training accident. Despite recommendations by his doctor to stop playing, he went on to play in the Stanley Cup just 6 weeks after the accident.  

In 1964, Geoffrion retired but came out of it in 1964 to play for the New York Rangers. He retired for good in 1968 and coached the Rangers. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.
