Ed Belfour is preparing to give up his Olympic gold medal for an opportunity to go into business with his son.
The medal the Hockey Hall of Fame goalie won representing Canada at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games is one of 66 pieces of personal NHL memorabilia Belfour has put up for auction. The objective is to raise enough seed money for Belfour and his 26-year-old son, Dayn, to go forward with their plan to open Belfour Distilleries.
"It's definitely hard to part ways with some of this stuff I've kept since high school," Belfour said by phone from his home outside of Dallas this week.
