Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Joining once again, in collaboration with the Montreal Canadiens, Classic Auctions is pleased to offer a large collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the storied club’s comprehensive archives. A number of historic specimens direct from the famous team including unique displays that were once marvelously displayed in the hallowed Montreal Forum and later at the Bell Centre are available, with an endless array of legendary and monumental players featured that all proudly once donned the sacred jersey of the mighty Montreal Canadiens.
With a fourth place finish in the Northeast Division enough to qualify for postseason play, the Montreal Canadiens lost to the New Jersey Devils in the first round of the 1997 Stanley Cup playoffs 4-1, with the series best remembered for the goal scored by Martin Broduer. This large framed master team photo of the 1996-97 Montreal Canadiens was originally displayed prominently in the Molson Centre. At approx 40” x 59”, the beautiful team image includes a full colour Habs logo centralized, and features stars Saku Koivu, Patrice Brisebois, Shane Corson and Captain Vincent Damphousse, along with Hall of Fame management members Yvan Cournoyer, Steve Shutt and Jacques Laperriere. Each black and white image is an individual photo that has been affixed to the mount, with the display framed to full mammoth dimensions of approx 46” x 66”. A stunning display piece featuring hockey’s greatest all-time club, the unique specimen is ready for inclusion within a world class collection. There is some minor wear to the frame including some white paint along the top edge, and please note that due to the size and/or weight, THIS ITEM CAN ONLY BE PICKED-UP AND NOT SHIPPED. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
