Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/7/2017
With just three clubs participating, the 1987 Memorial Cup took place in Oshawa, with WHL champions Medicine Hat defeating the host Generals for their first championship in franchise history. Hailing from the collection of longtime CHL and WHL president Ed Chynoweth and consigned by his direct family, we have a 1987 Medicine Hat Tigers Memorial Cup champions 10K gold ring that was presented to the important hockey administrator. Size 8 with a weight of 18.2 grams, “Tigers” appears across the face inset with nine .01 ct diamonds, with “Memorial Cup” above and “Champions” below. “1987” along with “Medicine Hat” appear on the left shank, with a Tigers logo and “E. Chynoweth” on the right. The inner band is stamped “10K”. Comes with an LOA from the family.
A number of scratches are present along the band, with additional wear to edges throughout. The ring also has dirt present within some grooves, and could benefit from a gentle cleaning. Chynoweth served as the president of the WHL from 1972-95 and president of the CHL from 1975-95. Passing from cancer in 2008, the WHL renamed its championship trophy the Ed Chynoweth Cup in his honour. Chynoweth was posthumously elected to the HOF as a builder late in 2008.
