This magnificent gold and diamond creation is the sixth and final Stanley Cup championship ring Jacques Laperriere won over the course of his Hall of Fame playing career with the Montreal Canadiens. The championship, the Canadiens' 18th Cup overall, capped a remarkable season that saw the team finish first overall in the East Division with 120 points. Laperriere appeared in 10 of 17 playoff games as the Canadiens beat Buffalo and Philadelphia to advance to the finals where they faced Chicago for the second time in three years. Yvan Cournoyer scored 15 goals to claim the Conn Smythe Trophy and Henri Richard won his record 11th Stanley Cup as the Habs beat the Black Hawks in six games. This gorgeous ring features 17 diamonds surrounding a red stone, which has a large diamond set in the middle of the ring representing the team's 18th Stanley Cup. The outer edge of the face has "NHL Champions" in raised letters encircling the diamonds. The ring's left shank features the Canadiens' familiar logo in red, white and blue with "Laperriere" spelled out in capital letters across a banner above the logo, and "Champions, Est-East, 52-10-16" beneath it representing the team's regular season record. The ring's right shank features a raised image of the Stanley Cup set in the middle of the year "1973" with "Coupe Stanley Cup" and "Le Club de Hockey Canadien" below it, all in raised capital letters. The inside of this fabulous size 9 ring is stamped "Jostens" along with the copyright logo and "10k". Jacques Laperriere's signed letter of authenticity will accompany this magnificent piece of championship jewelry.
