This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Keith Tkachuk during the 2002-03 NHL season. Tkachuk has been one of the game’s premier power forwards since breaking onto the scene in 1992 with the Winnipeg Jets. His career has been split predominantly between 3 cities, Winnipeg, Phoenix and St. Louis, where he has patrolled the wing for most of the past 7 seasons.
Born in Melrose Massachusetts, the heart and soul of USA hockey is clearly headed for the Hockey Hall of Fame. His statistics are rather impressive, having notched goal number 500 as 2007-08 came to a close. He has tabbed nearly a point per game with approximately 1000 in the till. Not to be forgotten are his better than 2000 PIMS. A 50-goal scorer with 2000 PIMS places Keith in select company. Numerous NHL All Star appearances and victories in international competitions such as the 1996 World Cup further add to his resume.
Sewn to the left breast of this gamer is the alternate Captain’s “A”. The game use consists of a good many stick marks along with board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes and inner pilling. Sewn to the inside hem is the official NHL game worn jersey tagging along with the Blues set tagging. This jersey will be accompanied by an NHL letter.
