Jacques Plante Auction March 2006
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/28/2006
Handsome vintage award was presented to the “stingy” Jacques Plante after he claimed his fourth consecutive NHL goals-against-average title and Vezina Trophy following the 1958-59 season. Plante again led the league in wins (38) and shutouts (9), while allowing just 2.16 goals a game. The crafty Plante then helped the Habs to a record fourth Stanley Cup title as Montreal took care of Chicago and Toronto in the playoffs. A heavy bronze plaque here is applied to an 11” by 12” wooden one to create a gorgeous rich display piece. A raised NHL logo is joined by “Annual Award” and “Won By”, while engraved plates read “Georges Vezina Trophy” and “Jacques Plante – Club de Hockey Canadien Inc”. The four seasons that Plante had won the trophy up until that point are also listed. In excellent-plus condition, the award is oh so significant and deserves serious contemplation from Plante/award collectors. A letter of authenticity from the Plante family will accompany this wonderful treasure.
