A round-robin format with the top three teams winning gold, silver and bronze medals respectively, the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championship was played in Finland, with a Canadian squad that featured Wendel Clark, Shayne Corson, Claude Lemieux and Stephane Richer taking the gold. Hailing from the collection of longtime CHL and WHL president Ed Chynoweth and consigned by his direct family, we have a 1985 World Junior Championships Team Canada 10K gold ring that was presented to the important hockey administrator. Size 8 1/2 with a weight of 18.5 grams, a gold coloured maple leaf sits atop a red synthetic stone, surrounded by “World Jr Champions Team Canada”. The left shank features a detailed IIHF emblem with “1985”, while the right features a Hockey Canada logo with “Chynoweth” placed above. The inner band is stamped “Jostens 10K”. An LOA from the Chynoweth family will accompany.
Wear is present along the outer band and shanks, with minimal wear on the tableau. There is also dirt visible along a number of grooves, with the ring to benefit from a thorough 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.
