Originating from the Moncton Hawks Allan Cup championship in 1934, we have an attractive 10K gold ring that was presented to coach Percy Nicklin. Size 9 with an approx weight of 5 grams, an image of the Allan Cup has been engraved over the face of the ring, along with “1933-1934”. Featuring tasteful Art Deco flourishes over each shank, "10K I.F.L" has been stamped over the inner band, with "City of Moncton" engraved in attractive script. Worn with pride during the height of the Great Depression, the ring exhibits moderate wear throughout, with no obtrusive or unsightly damage whatsoever. A three-game series, the Hawks would defeat Fort William to claim the 1934 Allan Cup, 2 games to 1. The original celluloid ring box is included, along with an LOA from the Nicklin family.
The Percy Nicklin International Hockey Collection
Born in Simcoe, Ontario, just before the close of the 19th century and hailing from a Scottish family, Percy Harold Nicklin rose to hockey prominence coaching the Moncton Hawks to back-to-back Allan Cup championships as the top senior amateur club in Canada, in 1933 and 1934. Moving on to unlikely hockey locale England in 1935, Nicklin took the reins of the Richmond Hawks before assuming coaching duties with the ENL's Harringay Racers and Harringay Greyhounds. Nicklin would again put his magic behind the bench to work in 1936, when he and international hockey legend Bunny Ahearne built a strong Great Britain national team that would defeat Canada at the 1936 Winter Olympics to claim the gold medal. The successful Nicklin would go on to lead Great Britain to further glory, winning consecutive World Championships, in 1937 and 1938.
