The Canadiens were nearly unbeatable during the 1976-77 regular season. The club posted a record of 60-8-12 for an astonishing total of 132 points. Four towering sticks rise from the wood base to support a silver plate cup with attached lid. A plaque on one side of the base reads "HRH Prince of Wales Trophy - Claude Ruel." The opposing side is inscribed "NHL Champions - Montreal Canadiens - 1976-77." In excellent condition.
