This home orange air-knit gamer by Reebok was worn by Ville Leino in the 2009-10 Stanley Cup Finals, during his rookie year. Born in Finland, Leino spent more than a handful of seasons playing in SM-liiga before coming to North America to further pursue his career. In 2008-09 he latched onto the Detroit Red Wings and appeared in 13 games as the team made its way to the Cup Finals only to fall at the hands of Sidney Crosby and his Penguins. On February 6th 2010, the Red Wings traded Leino to the Philadelphia Flyers. Ville suited up in 13 regular season games for Philly and then made the league take notice as he turned it up a notch come playoff time. Despite starting the playoffs on the bench, Leino played in 19 postseason games for the Flyers, scoring 7 goals and adding 14 assists for 21 points, which tied Dino Ciccarelli’s long-standing rookie playoff scoring record. Ville especially shined during the Cup Finals against the Blackhawks, scoring 3 goals and 9 points and going +6 during the 6-game series.

Offered here is Leino’s home Finals jersey, worn in games 3 and 4 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. The Flyers tied the series with Wins in these 2 games and Ville scored a critical 3rd period goal in each game while wearing this very sweater.

Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals patch. The game wear on this size 58 sweater is on the light side, as would be expected. Worthy of mention are a couple of burns with board paint transfer on the rear hem and a sizable slash mark that runs diagonally thru the crest. Shown above are some beautiful photos of Leino wearing this exact jersey during games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. A tremendous offering that was worn by this up and coming winger during his rookie season, as he tied Dino Ciccareeli’s three-decade-old rookie playoff scoring record, choice! This jersey will be accompanied by a Flyers team letter.
