2015 Canadian $10 National Hockey League® Goalies - Fine Silver 6-Coin Set

2015 Canadian $10 National Hockey League® Goalies - Fine Silver 6-Coin Set

They played with passion and a rugged determination, carried by an enduring love for the game; in an era when there was little protective equipment, the hard-playing goaltenders of the Original Six™ hockey teams often risked injury as they fearlessly stood toe-to-toe against the prolific scorers of the 1950s and ‘60s. Each of these Canadian-born netminders brought their own style of play and made some of pro hockey's most memorable saves, all while setting the bar with impressive performance standards and helping to shape modern goaltending. Theirs is a lasting legacy on a sport that plays an important part in Canadian culture—a legacy that is celebrated with these fine silver coins.

A spectacular collectible and an extraordinary gift for fans who are truly passionate about their team, the game and its history! Subscribe today!

Design

Johnny Bower
The reverse design features a side shot of goaltender Johnny Bower as he minds the net for the Toronto Maple Leafs® during the Original Six™ era. Rendered with masterful engraving, the maskless netminder's facial features are recognizable as he turns his head to the right, always keeping his focus on the puck. Maintaining his weight on one bended knee, Bower moves to block a shot in stand-up style, his right leg stretched out while lifting his blocker and stick.

Gerry Cheevers
The reverse design features a front view of goaltender Gerry Cheevers in net for the Boston Bruins® as he moves into position to make one of his memorable saves. Precision engraving brings this finely detailed design to life, recreating the famous facemask with its painted stitching. Cheevers balances on one bended knee with his other leg anchoring his weight; his trapper overlaps the image's outer rim where this legendary goaltender's name appears.

Eddie Giacomin
The reverse design features a side portrait of goaltender Eddie Giacomin in net for the New York Rangers® during the National Hockey League's® Original Six™ era. Finely detailed engraving recreates the likeness of this classic stand-up goaltender and fan favourite; maintaining his weight on one bended knee, Giacomin leans forward slightly with his goalie stick and trapper positioned in front of him.

Terry Sawchuk
The reverse design features a portrait of goaltending great Terry Sawchuk during his days of playing for the Detroit Red Wings® in the NHL's Original Six™ era. Rendered with finely detailed engraving, the maskless netminder's is in action as he keeps his gaze fixed on the puck beyond the reverse; he is crouched in his familiar stance, with arms and legs splayed out as he uses his remarkably fast reflexes to defend the net.

Glenn Hall
The reverse design features a meticulously engraved portrait of goaltender Glenn Hall in his days of playing for the Chicago Blackhawks® during the NHL's Original Six™ era. The exceptionally detailed design finds the maskless Hall in the “butterfly” position he made famous, with his pads splayed against the ice and knees kept close together to protect the net's bottom corners; keeping his trapper low, Hall's gaze is fixed downward on the play as he protects the “five-hole” by positioning the blade of his stick in front of his knees.

Jacques Plante
The reverse design features a meticulously engraved portrait of the hockey goaltender Jacques Plante, who became renowned for his agility and sharp skills during the National Hockey League's® Original Six™ era. Crouched in front of the net, the maskless netminder maintains his focused stare as he defends the Montreal Canadiens'® net, poised with his trapper and goalie stick to block any shot that comes his way.
