Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/28/2023
A three-game series that pitted the NHL All-Stars against the Soviet National Team, the 1979 Challenge Cup was won by the Soviets two games to one, with all three games played at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This bronze sculpture on a wooden base is a memento that members of the NHL All-Star team and representatives received for taking part in the 1979 Challenge Cup. The faceless hockey player and wooden base combine for a height of just under 8” while engraved on the metal plaque is “Challenge Cup 1979 – NHL-USSR-NHLPA.” Both the sculpture and the base remain in excellent condition with some wear to the wooden base on the right side. The engraved plaque is also somewhat turned-up at the left edge (there are also a few stickers affixed to the underside). Purchased from Gelineau & Sons auctions in Quebec, the trophy is attributed to the personal collection of Challenge Cup participant Gilbert Perreault.
