Paul's Team Canada jersey worn during the 1996 World Cup of Hockey championship. He led all players with seven assists.

Coffey set the standard for scoring by a defenseman throughout the 1980s. The top stick was used during Game 5 of the 1985 Stanley Cup Final, when Coffey scored the Cup-winning goal during the first period, as his Oilers claimed their 2nd consecutive crown. His 37-point playoff performance that year was an NHL record. The bottom stick was used to record his first 100-point campaign, reaching that mark on March 4, 1984 with three assists versus the Montreal Canadiens. In the process, Coffey became only the 3rd defenseman to reach that milestone.
