Led by Guy Lafleur’s astounding 132 points which included 60 goals, the Montreal Canadiens earned an impressive 129 points during the 1977-78 NHL regular-season, and later defeated the Boston Bruins in a six-game final to claim their 21st Stanley Cup championship. This Prince of Wales trophy was presented to Habs trainer Eddy Palchak for the Canadiens’ status as the 1977-78 Wales Conference regular season champions. At 13” in height, four silver-plated hockey sticks rise up from a 2 ½” wooden base to support a cup with an affixed coat of arms and removable lid. A plaque affixed over the front of the wooden base states, “Prince of Wales Trophy”, with “Edward Palchak” engraved beneath, with a second plaque over the reverse sporting, "NHL Champions – Montreal Canadiens – 1977-78".
There is surface wear to the lid along with a dent to the rim, with each of the affixed plaques darkened somewhat, with the trophy in otherwise beautiful condition.
