Memorial Cup champions for a second-straight year, the 1995 tournament took place in Kamloops, with the host Blazers handily defeating Detroit in the final 8-2. Hailing from the collection of longtime CHL and WHL president Ed Chynoweth, we have a 1995 Kamloops Blazers Memorial Cup champions 10K gold ring that was presented to the important hockey administrator. Size 9 with a weight of 24.3 grams, “Blazers” appears across the face inset with three .01 ct brilliant cut diamonds, with “Memorial Cup” above and “Champions” below. “Kamloops” appears on the left shank with championship years listed and “Believe”, with the right shank containing “Chynoweth” above, along with the dates of Memorial Cup victories. The inner band is stamped “Jostens 10K”, with “Taking care of business” along with a date. The ring was originally obtained directly from the Chynoweth family.
A number of minor scratches are present along the band, with additional wear to edges throughout. Chynoweth served as the president of the WHL from 1972-95 and president of the CHL from 1975-95. Passing from cancer in 2008, the WHL renamed its championship trophy the Ed Chynoweth Cup in his honour. Chynoweth was posthumously elected to the HOF as a builder late in 2008.
