Card Notes
The 1956-57 season was in many respects, another big year in Doug Harvey’s NHL career. Selected as winner of the Norris Trophy for the third year and to the First All-Star Team for the sixth straight year, he also broke his own record for most assists by a defenseman in a season, scoring 44. It is interesting to note that never before in the history of the All Stars, has any defenseman made the First Team six consecutive years.
