Item description
Handsome, original and rare award was given by the NHL to Jean Beliveau after he led his Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in the spring of 1965. After a 4-year drought, the Canadiens recaptured hockey's top prize by beating the Maple Leafs in 6 semi-final games and then the Black Hawks in 7. Beliveau notched 8 goals and 8 assists in the 13 games. He had the distinction of scoring the Cup-winning goal just 14 seconds into the 4-0 finale and also scored 2 other game-winners in the finals. Beliveau won the very first Conn Smythe Trophy and later received this personal award. A heavy bronze plaque with the NHL shield and proper engravings is screwed to a wooden backing. In formidable near mint condition, the superb, seldom offered award will be accompanied by Jean Beliveau's signed letter of authenticity.
