Battling for world hockey supremacy, the 2002 Winter Olympics hockey tournament featured the Canadians and Americans in the finals, with the mighty maple leaf dominating the stars and stripes, with our southern neighbors defeated 5-2 on the strength of Steve Yzerman’s four points. Offered directly from the Ted Lindsay Foundation with proceeds from this sale to benefit their continued battle against autism, we have an oversized limited-edition Olympic photo signed by Steve Yzerman, Chris Chelios, Brett Hull and Brendan Shanahan. At approx 16” x 20”, the glossy print shows the four posed together directly after the finals, with each proudly wearing their medal. All four have signed over their respective image, the Canadians in blue sharpie, and the Americans in fitting silver, with no issues for the signatures. A hologram has been affixed to the lower left, with light touches to a few corners. The limited-edition number of “436/500” has also been added to the bottom right, with an LOA to accompany.
Originally created by the legendary Hall of Fame superstar in 2001 to assist a friend’s child diagnosed with autism, the Ted Lindsay Foundation was established to “support research and educational programs focusing on the cause and management of autism spectrum disorders.” Although Ted sadly left us in 2019, the foundation’s important work has continued, with over 5 million raised from inception through 2020. At the 28th National Philanthropy Day celebration, the Ted Lindsay Foundation received the prestigious “Outstanding Foundation Award” for 2019, from the Greater Detroit Chapter of Association of Fundraising Professionals for demonstrating “outstanding commitment through financial support and through encouragement and motivation to others to take leadership roles in philanthropy and community involvement.” A partial list of programs supported by the Ted Lindsay Foundation include; FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation, The Healing Haven-Linking Hands and Hearts, The Courage Awards, Venetian’s Club’s Halloween Party, The Johnson Center, Dutton Farms and For The Kids Foundation.
