Craig Patrick wore many hats during his illustrious hockey career, but perhaps none fit him better than general manager. Patrick served as GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1989 to 2006 and oversaw back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships in '91 and '92. This award presented to the NHL Executive of the Year was given to Patrick by The Sporting News for the 1997-98 season, which saw the Penguins finish second in the Eastern Conference and first in their division despite being without Mario Lemieux for the first time in more than a decade. The beautiful, crystal award was made by Tiffany & Co., and their marking appears on the bottom. It stands 6.75" tall and is in NM condition.
