Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Finishing with a regular season record of 58–11–11 during the regular season before knocking off the Chicago Black Hawks, New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers to claim the franchise's nineteenth (19th) Stanley Cup championship, the 1975-76 Montreal Canadiens roster would include nine (9) future Hockey Hall of Fame inductees and see them play the powerhouse Soviet Red Army squad at the Montreal Forum on New Years Eve that resulted in a 3-3 with the game being referred to as the greatest contest of all-time. Posting fifty-two (52) points in sixty-one (61) games during the regular season as well as another six (6) in the playoffs, offered here is this stick used by Jacques Lemaire during the 1975-76 campaign that has been signed by twenty-one (21) members of that legendary squad. A Victoriaville made example with "25 Lemaire" stamped over the upper shaft, the stick retains its original black tape job wrapped around the heavily shaved down handle/knob while matching cloth has been added over a small section of the blade as well in Lemaire's familiar styling. Retaining a fully intact foil accent sticker around the bottom of the shaft, the shows game-wear via some black marks and spots of red post paint transfers throughout the entirety of the piece while some light wear is observed to the underside of the blade and heel also. Having been signed by twenty-one (21) members of that years squad, all have signed in thin black marker ink with the penmanship of Scotty Bowman (coach), Toe Blake, Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson, Serge Savard, Yvon Cournoyer, Jacques Lemaire (x2), Guy Lafleur, Guy Lapointe, Steve Shutt, Don Awrey, Murray Wilson, Mario Tremblay, Michel Larocque, Yvan Lambert, Bill Nyrop, Doug Risebrough, Doug Jarvis, Pete Mahovlich, Rick Chatraw and Jim Roberts. All the autographs display well and without issue, remaining fully legible despite their age.
