Mailed out: January 19, 2015
Returned: January 21, 2015
Time in mail: 2 days
No one is ever going to top this time of this return, the Edmonton hockey legend still lives within the community. Al Hamilton played his junior career with the Edmonton oil Kings making 3 appearances at the Memorial Cup, winning it once. He spent 5 seasons away from Edmonton with the Rangers and Sabres bouncing between the big league and the minors. He left the NHL in 1972 to join the rival WHA's Alberta Oilers, where he was named captain. Hamilton stuck around with the Oilers for another 7 seasons, including 1979 when they joined the NHL. His number was the first to be retired by the Edmonton Oilers, and to this day is the only Oiler who didn't win a cup in the 80's to have his number retired.
