The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled a new silver collector’s coin to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.
The unveiling took place at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, which was the venue for the association’s inaugural meeting on December 4, 1914.
“For our 100th anniversary, Hockey Canada is bringing its proud history to Canadians across the country in a variety of unique and interactive ways,” said Tom Renney, President and CEO of Hockey Canada. “It is an honour to have our storied logo forever captured in brilliant colour with such expertise by the Royal Canadian Mint.”
The coin, which bears a denomination of $20 and has a limited mintage of 7,500, retails for $119.95.
