Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create digital trading cards for players missed in various sets. I borrowed this concept from far too many to thank, but I appreciate all of their efforts.
From Saint-Hyacinthe, PQ, Canada, goalie Denis DeJordy debuted in the minors in the 1957-58 season. He was called up by the Chicago BlackHawks during the 1960-61 playoffs but did not play. His name was engraved on the Stanley Cup and he appeared in the Hawks' Stanley Cup team picture, even though he had yet to play a single NHL game. He made his NHL debut in the 1962-63 season. Midway through the '69-70 season, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. He was traded to the Montreal Canadiens midway through the '71-72 season and then again to the Detroit Red Wings after that season. After the '73-74 season, DeJordy closed out his career. He played in 317 games and had a 3.14 goals against average with a .902 save percentage.
For his effort, DeJordy received cards from Parkhurst, Topps or OPC from 1961-62 through '72-73. That left two years to complete his career. I found enough pictures to make those cards.
