Raise a championship banner to the rafters and celebrate a rich history of hockey excellence with this booklet of 10 PermanentTM domestic stamps honouring the 100th presentation of the Memorial Cup.
In a design evoking the Canadian flag, the Cup’s long history is illustrated by players from different eras facing off on either side of the cherished prize. Each player is dressed in the uniform of the Regina Pats, runners-up in the inaugural Memorial Cup and hosts of this year’s centennial event.
The stamps, which feature a metallic silver effect on the Cup, are presented inside a unique championship banner-style booklet with a pointed end.
First presented in 1919, the Memorial Cup was long dedicated to the memory of those Canadians killed in action during the First World War. In 2010, the Cup was rededicated to honour all Canadian Armed Forces members who have given their lives in the line of duty.

First presented in 1919, the Memorial Cup was long dedicated to the memory of those Canadians killed in action during the First World War. In 2010, the Cup was rededicated to honour all Canadian Armed Forces members who have given their lives in the line of duty. In tribute, the reverse side of this collectible features a photograph of two Canadian Armed Forces members accompanying the Cup.
The domestic-rate stamp on this Official First Day Cover is cancelled in Regina, Saskatchewan. The Regina Pats were runners-up in the inaugural Memorial Cup, and are the hosts of this year’s centennial event.
In 1919, the Ontario Hockey Association donated the Memorial Cup in remembrance of Canadians who made the supreme sacrifice for their country during the First World War. Rededicated in 2010 to the memory of all members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have died in the line of duty, the Cup has become one of hockey’s oldest and most cherished prizes.
This stamp, designed by Paprika in Montréal with illustrations by Louis Hébert, features a faceoff between two players of the Regina Pats wearing vintage and current uniforms. The design, inspired by the Canadian flag, highlights the passion Canadians feel for the Memorial Cup. The Official First Day Cover includes a photo of two members of the Canadian Armed Forces holding the Cup – a tribute to its origin – and is canceled in Regina where, in 2018, the coveted trophy will be presented for the 100thtime.
The team at Paprika used the shape of the stamp products to create a unique look. "The long booklet evokes the banners that hang in the arenas of Memorial Cup champions," says stamp designer Daniel Robitaille, adding that the rink-like OFDC, with the players at the centre, captures the energy of an exciting Memorial Cup game.
