HOFer Billy Smith earned this 1995-96 Prince of Wales Trophy for his awesome work as the Florida Panthers’ goaltending coach. Panthers goalie John Vanbiesbrouck carried his teammates to playoff series wins over Boston and Philadelphia before pulling off an astounding seven-game upset of Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Wales Conference final. Lidded trophy stands 13” tall overall. “NHL Champions Florida Panthers 1995-96” reads the plaque on one side of the 2-inch tall wood base with a Boffey sticker on the brown felt bottom. “Bill Smith” and the name of the trophy are on a plaque on the other side. Absolutely wonderfully preserved, this representation of the high-water mark for the Panthers comes with Billy Smith’s signed LOA.
