1991 Canada Cup Team Canada Gold Medal
Canada's great depth was the key to its fourth Canada Cup championship in 1991. Mario Lemieux, Ray Bourque, Steve Yzerman, Adam Oates, Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy and Cam Neely all missed the tournament for various reasons, leaving Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier as the only "superstars" on the team. Canada managed to defeat the Americans despite the loss of Gretzky for the final match. Bill Ranford was spectacular in net while Mark Messier and Steve Larmer picked up their game. The Americans, accurately dubbed as "the best U.S. team ever" by general manager Craig Patrick, were inspired by their dying coach Bob Johnson, who fell ill with a brain tumor as the tournament began. Canada's two game sweep of the Americans in the finals reaffirmed the nation’s dominance in international hockey. This stunning gold medal with its red and white ribbon was presented to a member of Team Canada for his participation. The face has the demi-leaf design with "Canada Cup" and "Coupe Canada". The opposite side displays the logos of the six participating teams. Further details on this historical award's provenance available upon request.
