With their legendary victory over the Soviet Union in the historic Summit Series, Team Canada 1972 was a clear-cut choice as Canada’s “Team of the Century” in a poll conducted by the Canadian Press. This handsome trophy was presented to Team Canada 1972 forward Jean Ratelle to commemorate the November 2000 unveiling of the historic monument dedicated to the team at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Attractive and substantial marble-base award stands just over 13” tall and features English and French plaques on either side of the award, which was presented by the Royal Canadian Mint. Silver-coloured maple leaf atop the heavy marble base has the Mint’s commemorative 25th anniversary silver dollar set in the middle. Jean Ratelle’s signed LOA accompanies this spectacular and seldom-seen trophy.
The trophy remains in wonderful condition, with just a few dark blemishes to both the front and reverse of the mounted maple leaf, with additional wear to the affixed silver dollar.
