Team Canada 1972 was a clear-cut choice as Canada’s Team of the Century and Montreal Canadiens center Peter Mahovlich was a key contributor to their Summit Series win over the Soviet Union. Offered are two Team Canada 1972 team-signed items from the personal collection of Peter Mahovlich, who played in seven games in the eight-game Cold War showdown.
Mahovlich’s “Canada’s Team of the Century” team-signed limited edition is number 20 in the player’s edition collection of 40. Among the total of 30 who have signed are Summit Series hero Paul Henderson, coaches Harry Sinden and the late John Ferguson, deceased HOFers Tony Esposito, Rod Gilbert and Stan Mikita. HOFers Phil Esposito, Yvan Cournoyer, Frank Mahovlich, Jean Ratelle, Marcel Dionne, Serge Savard, Guy Lapointe and Brad Park are also among the 30 fine signatures in a variety of inks, as well as deceased team members Pat Stapleton, Bill White, Rick Martin, J.P. Parise and Brian Glennie. The “20/40 PE” pencil notation is below Sinden’s cameo on the bottom left of the image by artist Daniel Parry. The 21 ¼” x 25 ½” print is well preserved with creases on the bottom left and right corners that would be hidden with appropriate and worthy framing for display.
Also included is a CCM Professional Heritage wood stick, team-signed by 23 members of Team Canada 1972. Tony Esposito, Stan Mikita, Phil Esposito, Yvan Cournoyer, John Ferguson, Ron Ellis, Bill White, Guy Lapointe and Peter Mahovlich are among the 23 red marker autographs covering the stick from the top of one side of the shaft down to its bare blade, which has a round glue spot about the size of a quarter on the toe.
The 30 members of Team Canada who signed the limited edition lithograph that comes with a certificate of authenticity are Harry Sinden, Ed Johnston, Ron Ellis, Rod Gilbert, Red Berenson, Rod Seiling, Paul Henderson, Tony Esposito, Guy Lapointe, Rick Martin, Wayne Cashman, Vic Hadfield, Brian Glennie, Phil Esposito, Brad Park, Peter Mahovlich, Yvan Cournoyer, Bill White, Don Awrey, Frank Mahovlich, Dale Tallon, J.P. Parise, Jocelyn Guevremont, Marcel Dionne, Serge Savard, Jean Ratelle, Stan Mikita, Dennis Hull, Pat Stapleton and John Ferguson.
