This road blue air-knit gamer by Koho and Elite Sportswear was worn by Jani Rita during the 2002-03 NHL pre-season. The Edmonton Oilers selected Rita in the 1st round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. After playing in his native Finland with Jokerit Helsinki, Rita made his NHL debut in 2001-02 with a 1-game stint with the Oilers. Jani spent parts of four seasons in an Edmonton uniform and another partial year with the Pittsburgh Penguins before returning to Helsinki and playing there for another 10 seasons.
Light but obvious game wear exists on this pre-season set size 56 sweater. Sewn to the inside hem is the official NHL game worn jersey tagging. Sewn alongside is the official Edmonton Oilers game worn jersey and set tagging.
