Resplendent ring recalls Canada’s gold medal performance at the 1994 World Championships in Milan, Italy and is identical to the rings goaltending hero Bill Ranford and his teammates received for capturing Canada’s first world title in 33 years. The 2-1 clinching win came down to a sudden death shootout after both Canada and Finland scored twice in the initial shootout round of five shooters. Luc Robitaille then scored and Ranford foiled Mika Nieminen to give Canada the ultimate triumph. This fine example, presented to team massage therapist Stu Poirier, features the Hockey Canada logo "World Champions" and two cubic zircons are on the face with "Italy 1994" on one side and "Poirier" on the other. Stamped "Intergold" and "10K" on the interior of the band, the size 8-1/2 ring is in near-excellent condition, showing light wear. Originally from the personal collection of Stu Poirier with an accompanying letter of authenticity and an additional jeweler’s appraisal document listing the weight of the ring at 29.90 grams.
