Featuring countries such as Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden and the United States as well as Team Europe and Team North America, the 2016 World Cup of Hockey saw Canada claim gold over Team Europe 2 games to 0 in the best-of-three final with Sidney Crosby leading the event in scoring and taking home MVP honours. Offered here, we present this puck used in the second period of the semi-final contest between Team Europe and Sweden on September 25th, 2016. Finishing with a final score of 3-2 in favour of Team Europe with forward Tomas Tatar scoring the game winning goal 3:43 into the overtime period, the puck displays the tournament logo over the middle of one face, encircled by a floral like design with "September 25 - Semifinal Game Two" spelt out and repeated around the edge. On the other side, the same logo and pattern is repeated, only this time in just white while the countries and regions taking part in the tournament are spelt our around the edge. Sporting four sensors over each face and others around the edge of the puck, the aforementioned edge has been covered with white hockey tape all the way around that has had "2 PER PUCK 1" penned to it in blue marker ink. Displaying excellent use through wear to the logos and numerous marks/abrasions over both faces, a large chunk is taken out of the edge as well on the coloured logo face. Having had a Fanatics hologram numbered "AA0002038" affixed to the bottom of the reverse side, the puck comes with its original Fanatics Authentics box.
A tracking puck made for the tournament in a partnership between the NHL and Sportvision, the company used similar technology during the 2015 NHL All-Star Game and collected real-time data during the tournament for a player’s ice time, zone time, and shots, as well as the direction, distance, and speed of the shot, player speed, puck trajectory, distance the puck and player travel, and possession data.
