Project Object #12: Vintage Buffalo Sabres 10th Anniversary 1970-1980 Viceroy Hockey Puck

I originally listed this item in a 10 day ebay auction for $12.99. It went through several rounds with no takers. I lowered the price to $9.99 and once again listed it in a couple ten day ebay auctions. The puck finally sold for $9.99 on April 14, 2016.

Vintage Buffalo Sabres 10th Anniversary 1970-1980 Viceroy Hockey Puck

This Viceroy Hockey Puck commemorates the Buffalo Sabres 10th Anniversary season of 1980-1981. During that season, I bought the puck at a souvenir stand at a Sabres game in the now demolished Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. The Sabres entered the National Hockey League in 1970 with the Vancouver Canucks, raising the number of teams in the NHL to fourteen at the time.

In the team’s 10th Anniversary season of 1980-1981, the Sabres won the regular season Adams Divison title behind Danny Gare and Gilbert Perreault before exiting the playoffs in a second round loss to the Minnesota North Stars. This puck has some blemishes (consult the pictures above) but its rarity more than makes up for them. The puck was a shelf piece for decades and will continue to make a wonderful piece of Sabres’ history in its new home!
