Celebrating some of hockey's most respected Canadian team leaders, this $25 pure silver rectangular coin is part of a series paying tribute to six legendary Canadians of the Hockey Hall of Fame who each captained an Original Six NHL team. Officially licensed by both the NHL and the Hockey Hall of Fame, each coin serves as a photographic tribute featuring a full-color reproduction of an official Hall of Fame photo.

This coin features Mark Messier, captain of the New York Rangers (1991-1997, 2000-2004).

Mark Messier

Known in New York as "The Captain" and "The Messiah," Mark Messier established himself as a true NHL powerhouse through a blend of commanding leadership, speed, physicality, and elite playmaking. Upon joining the New York Rangers in 1991, the Edmonton-born captain immediately energized the franchise, leading them to the league's best record and earning the Hart Trophy in his debut season. His Rangers tenure was capped by an iconic 1994 playoff run where Number 11 famously predicted a crucial victory before delivering a hat trick, ultimately scoring the deciding goal that ended the franchise's 54-year Stanley Cup drought.
