Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/23/2021
Joining once again, in collaboration with the Montreal Canadiens, Classic Auctions is pleased to offer a large collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the storied club’s comprehensive archives. A number of historic specimens direct from the famous team including unique displays that were once marvelously displayed in the hallowed Montreal Forum and later at the Bell Centre are available, with an endless array of legendary and monumental players featured that all proudly once donned the sacred jersey of the mighty Montreal Canadiens.
Immortalized through the coveted award named in his honour that is presented annually to the NHL goaltender who allows the fewest goals, Georges Vezina played in each and every single Montreal Canadiens game from 1910 to 1925, with the two-time Stanley Cup champion the first in history to record an NHL shutout. Direct from the archives of the Montreal Canadiens and most likely displayed originally at the Montreal Forum and possibly later at the Bell Centre, we have a Hall of Fame honoured member framed photo of the legendary superstar. At 5 ½” x 10” (exposed), the original Rice image is a modern print, with the smiling Chicoutimi Cucumber depicted in his full Habs uniform and equipment. A gold-coloured name plaque listing his induction year (1945) has been inserted beneath, double-matted and framed to 16” x 16”, with some light wear to the frame to note. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
