First awarded in 1999 to its namesake Wayne Gretzky, The Wayne Gretzky Award of Excellence (Now the Wayne Gretzky International Award) is a lifetime achievement award given by the United States Hockey Hall of Fame to honor international individuals who have made major contributions to the growth and advancement of ice hockey in the United States. Up for grabs here, is the one given to “The Golden Jet”, Bobby Hull when he was presented with the award on August 10th, 2003. Originally presented by Bobby’s son, Brett, at the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minnesota, the 16” trophy sports 6" square base of the trophy features the hall's logo and supports the swirling golden path that the soaring American bald eagle at the top has taken. A plaque reading “Presented To Bobby Hull – The Wayne Gretzky Award of Excellence – United States Hockey Hall of Fame – August 10, 2003” is affixed to the front of the base while a sticker from the manufacturer is found on the bottom of the base. In overall good condition, some handling wear, surface wear, light tarnishing and light scratching are visible on both the trophy and base, none affecting the eye-appeal of the award. The piece comes accompanied by an LOA signed by Hull from the award’s original sale.
