I found this brand new, never used Hartford Whalers duffle bag last week.     There is a great sports memorablia store on Thames Street in Newport that sells all sorts of stuff, in including some great Whalers items. 

Manager John Slauenwhite told me Whalers stuff is flying off the shelves and he is constantly looking to restock.   Slauenwhite is a native of Metro Hartford, from Simsbury, and has a special affection for the Whale.   

If you hurry, there is a great autographed picture of Gordie Howe for sale.
