The Jacques Laperriere Auction - Fall 2008
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
Fantastic keepsake from the second of five Canada Cup tournaments, this gold and diamond creation features the tournament’s half maple leaf logo surrounded by “Coupe Canada Cup”, with four diamonds below. One shank has a raised “19” with “81” on the other. The ’81 event was the only one which Team Canada did not come out on top, the Russians avenging their 7-3 round robin loss to the Canadians with a convincing 8-1 win in the winner-take-all one-game final at the Montreal Forum. Suiting up for Canada for the first time were the likes of Gretzky, Bossy and Bourque, who would have triumphant experiences in future Canada Cups. Size 10.5 ring exhibits light wear with the “10KG” assayer’s marking inside and is in excellent-plus condition. This example comes from the personal collection of former Team Canada trainer Gaetan LeFebvre.
