The long time Boston Bruin great signed each photo with the inscription "#9 H.O.F. '81" to signify his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario.

Bucyk, who was considered one of the best passing forwards to ever play the game, set career standards for the Bruins in Games Played, Seasons, Goals, and Points. During his tenure in Boston the "Chief", as he was known, was a key member of three seperate memorable lines. He began his career in Boston playing on the famed "Uke Line" with Vic Stasiuk and Joesph "Bronco" Horvath, moving onto the "B-O-W Line" with Murray Oliver and Tommie Williams, and finally along with linemates Fred Stanfield and Johnnie MacKenzie formed one of the best "second lines" to ever play in the NHL. Bucyk wore the Captains "C" with class and dignity. The same class and dignity garnered John the Lady Byng Trophy in 1971 and again in 1974, he was also runner up on 4 occassions.
