Get ready, hockey fans: an L.A. auction house is diving into the sports world with its first-ever hockey auction on June 20 in Toronto.
This first sports auction for Studio Auctions includes a mix of items from Canadian and American teams, with a special focus on high-quality, photo-matched memorabilia. Items up for grabs include jerseys, hockey sticks, contracts, posters and pucks. It’s a dream come true for anyone looking to own a piece of hockey history.
Big-ticket items include an autographed game-worn jersey from Darryl Sittler, as well as game-worn jerseys from Ian Turnbull, and Dave “Tiger” Williams. Fans can also bid on milestone hockey sticks used by Wayne Gretzky or a game-used rookie stick from Bobby Orr.
“We wanted our first sports auction to coincide with a major sporting event — we chose hockey memorabilia because the NHL finals are in June,” says Brad Teplitsky, Studio Auctions’ co-founder.
“And we chose Toronto because hockey is the most beloved sport in Canada and Toronto is home to the Hockey Hall of Fame and one of the largest hockey fan bases in the world,” Teplitsky said. “Some of the best hockey players of all time have come from this city.”edmonton oilers top prospects 2024
