The franchise's fifth Stanley Cup championship, the Edmonton Oilers finished second in the Western Conference at the conclusion of the 1989-90 NHL season, and despite the loss of Wayne Gretzky the season before, the boys from Alberta were able to defeat the Jets, Kings, Black Hawks and Bruins, to once again claim Lord Stanley’s prestigious trophy. Awarded for Edmonton’s status as Campbell Conference playoff champions, we have a Clarence Campbell championship trophy that was presented to Reijo Ruotsalainen. At 11” in height, the silver-plated handled cup with removable lid and chased detailing sits atop a hexagon-shaped 3-inch wooden base and is engraved “Reijo Ruotsalainen – Edmonton Oilers – 1989-90” on one side, with the name of the trophy and its "1968" year of inception on the other. Originating from Ruotsalainen's personal collection and accompanied by his signed LOA, the trophy remains in excellent condition with light surface wear to the handles and the middle rim, with additional wear to the inside top section of the bowl and the lid’s finial. Additionally, the edge of the bowl also shows some wear that hidden when the lid is placed on top and there are some scratches/small dings along the bottom ring of the lid that is worth mentioning for accuracy as well. Showing only very very light wear tot he edges of the otherwise flawless wooden base, the maroon coloured felt on the bottom remains in excellent shape and still has the Boffey sticker affixed.
