With an entire nation supporting them, Team Canada was offered a wishful “good luck” by Royal Trust during the Summit Series in 1972, with this limited-edition plaque celebrating the truly Canadian gesture. Presented to series megastar Paul Henderson and hailing from his personal collection, the 11” x 14” wooden tribute plaque includes an inserted white panel with “Team/Equipe Canada” above, “Royal Trust” below, and “22 million Canadians are behind you” in the centralized text, with this reproducing the original newspaper advertisement. A small plaque has been affixed beneath listing the particulars including “the first Western advertisement to appear in a Soviet newspaper”, and “Paul Henderson”. The limited-edition number of “19 of only 55” appears over the reverse, with these presumably given to just players and management. A signed LOA from Paul Henderson will accompany.
Surviving in beautiful condition with light wear to the plaque itself, we should note that the inserted white section appears slightly loose over both the upper and lower right corners, but remains firmly affixed.
