Detroit was beginning to like the sound of being named the Clarence Campbell Bowl Champions, as for the second time in three seasons, the Red Wings earned that honour. The team also capped off a fine season by continuing through into the Stanley Cup Finals and capturing their first Stanley Cup in over 40 years. The Wings rolled over the Colorado Avalanche for the right to be crowned Champions of the Western Conference in 1996-97. This personal miniature of the Campbell trophy was presented to long-time Red Wings head athletic trainer John Wharton. His name and title, engraved on one side of the handled bowl, is joined by "Detroit Red Wings 1996-97", while the name of the trophy and its 1968 year of inception are engraved on the opposite side. Silver-plated keepsake sits atop a six-sided 3-inch high wooden base and is in excellent condition. Comes from the personal collection of John Wharton and will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity.
