Former Canadiens star auctioning 3 of his Stanley Cup rings
Mario Tremblay was an important member of the Canadiens dynasty that won four consecutive Stanley Cups between 1976 and 1979.
Former Montreal Canadiens winger Mario Tremblay is putting three of his Stanley Cup rings up for auction.
The 12-year NHL veteran who was a part of the Canadiens team that dominated the NHL and won four consecutive championships from 1976 to 1979 and earned his fifth in 1986, has decided to let the public own a piece of Habs history. Tremblay is putting up his middle-three Stanley Cup rings — the jewels from the 1977, 1978, and 1979 championships — for auction, with each ring expected to sell for between $10,000 to $15,000 USD.
He previously lost his first ring from the 1976 Cup, and the one from 1986 holds some sentimental value after he gifted it to his late father.
Why is Tremblay selling three of his rings? Tremblay told the Journal de Montreal that after seeing longtime teammate Guy Lafleur and hockey legend Mike Bossy both die at relatively young ages just last year, he wants to enjoy the time he has left and have some money to leave to his children.
Tremblay knows all about opportunities coming to a premature end. At just 29 years old, Tremblay was forced to retire in March 1986 after suffering a career-ending shoulder injury. The Montreal native ended his career with 852 career games, scoring 258 goals and registering 584 points, all with his hometown club. He added 49 points in 101 career playoff games.
Tremblay eventually went down the coaching path, running the Canadiens bench for two seasons from 1995 to 1997, and working as one of Jacque Lemaire’s assistants for the Minnesota Wild for seven years. He followed Lemaire to the New Jersey Devils bench for the 2009-10 season.
Tremblay would then go on to carve out a career in broadcasting, just recently retiring from his position at RDS after working in television for 13 years.
