After a one-year flirtation with the World Hockey Association (WHA) Wayne Gretzky landed with the Edmonton Oilers in 1979 where he quickly began establishing scoring records at a dizzying pace and led his team to four Stanley Cup championships. Starting with his second year with Edmonton he would put up scoring totals of 164 212 196 205 208 215 and 183 a seven year span unmatched and largely unimagined. Presented here is one of a group of nine Gretzky game pucks dating from the transcendent early years of Gretzkys career acquired by John Hamilton directly from Glen Sather President and GM of the Edmonton Oilers. Each puck was utilized to achieve a different milestone or record in Gretzkys then young career.
Wayne Gretzky took yet another poke at the NHL record books on March 4 1984 as he recorded the 12th shorthanded goal for the season establishing the league record at the time and an achievement that still ranks as the No. 2 placeholder in the record books three decades later.
This puck precisely marks that historic moment noting the accomplishment and opponent (Montreal) and st Period Northlands Coliseum; the puck shows game use and has been wrapped with trainer's tape that was affixed following the contest to include notations of game time place etc. The artifact is in good condition and without issue with the hand writing by the trainer still legible. Comes with a 3-by- 1/2-inch plastic nameplate with gold finish engraved with the date score and description of both achievements.
Includes a copy of a Letter of Authenticity signed by Glen Sather President and GM of the Edmonton Oilers along with a Letter of Provenance from the Newport Sports Museum Collection.
