The Jacques Laperriere Auction - Fall 2008
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
On February 13th, 1999, the Toronto Maple Leafs played to a packed house in what would be their final game at Maple Leaf Gardens. In an emotional closing ceremony, dozens of former players from the team’s glory years filled the ice to say goodbye to the grand old building and those who had come to watch them. Then, the last team ever to play in the old girl on Church faced off against the visiting Chicago Black Hawks. This stunning display features a large lithographic photo of the building surrounded by the gold-ink autographs of those players from the final roster. Signers include: Mats Sundin, Curtis Joseph, Tie Domi, Glenn Healy, Jason Smith and more… twenty-four in total. A brass plaque matted in at the bottom is entitled “The Last Team, 1998-99 Toronto Maple Leafs” and lists the entire roster and coaching staff. Triple-matted and professionally framed in black with gold trim to a finished size of 32 x 35 inches.
