Paul Henderson’s “Goal of the Century” is featured four times in this huge lot of 92 prints consisting of four near sets of Prudential “Great Moments in Canadian Sports” each composed of 23 prints (a complete set is 25 prints). Henderson is depicted celebrating his Summit Series-clinching goal with Team Canada mates Yvan Cournoyer and Phil Esposito in front of sprawled Soviet goaltender Vladislav Tretiak in one of the seven hockey scenes included in each 25-print set. Lester Patrick’s remarkable turn in goal for the Rangers in the 1928 Stanley Cup final, Maurice “Rocket” Richard’s incredible 50 goals in 50 games in 1945, the first meeting of 50-goal scorers in NHL history in 1962 between Chicago’s Bobby Hull and Montreal’s Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion, the Maple Leafs’ 1962 Stanley Cup win, Gordie Howe’s record-breaking 545th goal in 1963, and Darryl Sittler’s 6-goal, 10-point game in 1976 are the other magnificent hockey scenes in the collection. Nancy Greene, Barbara Ann Scott, Sandy Hawley, Northern Dancer, Percy Williams, Ferguson Jenkins, Russ Jackson, the Bluenose and the Calgary Stampede are among the other iconic Canadian sports stories illustrated in these remarkable near sets of nicely preserved 16 1/2" x 12 1/2" prints. We should note that one of the offered near sets has an additional Jackie Parker print. In excellent condition, all four of the near sets suffer from just light corner wear, with the odd ding or surface bend.
