Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2024
The first Canada Cup tournament and built off the success of the Canada-Russia series’ of both 1972 and 1974, the 1976 tournament witnessed a strong Team Canada that included Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr and Darryl Sittler victorious over Czechoslovakia to claim top spot. Originating from his personal collection, this Canada Cup Championship trophy was presented to HOF superstar Phil Esposito. At 12” in height, the half maple leaf metal trophy has been finished in silver colour, the small plaque that was once affixed to the side and read “Phil Esposito Canada Cup 1976" has gone missing with time. Remaining in overall good condition, there is some surface wear, bubbling and pilling of the silver finish over both sides – very common with these awards, with a couple of the usually-sharp tips somewhat “rounded”, possibly the result of a production flaw. Retaining its green coloured felt base on the bottom of the piece, an LOA signed by Esposito will accompany the piece.
