This exquisite creation by the Jostens Company pays tribute to Maurice Richard and his sensational, unparalleled career. Size 10 ½ with an approx weight of 30 grams, the number 9 that the Rocket donned with pride while performing his heroic feats is front and center on the tableau and includes 12 diamonds. Set onto a large red stone, it is encircled by the icon’s name in sloping letters, along with “1942” (the year of his first game with the Habs) and his retirement year of 1960. One shank has “544 Career Goals” in raised letters, while engraving on hockey stick blades below references his Hall of Fame induction year (1961), eight Stanley Cups, Hart Trophy win and 14 NHL All-Star selections. The opposite side features an image of the old Montreal Forum before its renovation in 1968, Richard’s facsimile signature above, and the date his #9 jersey was retired in 1960 below. The Rocket’s classic signature is also engraved on the interior of the band, which is also stamped “Jostens 10K”. Limited-edition tribute is numbered “8/10” and is in beautiful condition showing light wear. A stylish large flip-top wooden display box includes a golden facsimile Richard signature and will serve as the ultimate showpiece for the ring. An LOA from the Richard family will accompany.
