The Jacques Laperriere Auction - Fall 2008
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
The Montreal Canadiens celebrated a milestone season in 1984-85, as exhibited in their official team photo which features “75th Anniversary” in the white matte below the players’ names on the photo titled, “Club de Hockey Canadien 1984-85 Adams Division Champion”. This is the original team photo that was presented to assistant coach Jacques Laperriere, who has signed the reverse in blue sharpie. Newcomers added since the previous team picture include goalie Doug Soetaert, defensemen Petr Svoboda and Tom Kurvers, and forwards Lucien DeBlois and Ron Flockhart. Gainey, Tremblay, Robinson, Penney, Naslund, Mondou, Carbonneau, Chelios, McPhee, Hunter, Turcotte, Smith, Ludwig, Green, Nilan and Walter are also lined up in front of the boards with the red Forum seats in the background of this original 13 ½” x 9 ½” David Bier studio-mounted photo along with executives Corey, Savard, Lemaire, McCammon, Beliveau, Laperriere, Perron and Lafleur, complete with red handkerchief in the breast pocket of his navy blue suit. The print is tastefully mounted in two-tone grey and red matte within a 22” x 20” gold-colored metal frame. A tough playoff loss to the rival Quebec Nordiques in their hard-fought series foreshadowed a return to glory that was soon to follow along with an influx of new talent. This great team photo comes along with Jacques Laperriere’s signed letter of authenticity.
