This blue alternate air-knit gamer by Koho and Elite Sportswear was worn by Steve Valiquette during the 2003-04 NHL season. The Los Angeles Kings selected Valiquette in the 8th round of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft. This Etobicoke, ONT native made his NHL debut in 1999-00 with the New York Islanders where he played a lone season. This 6’ 6” Goalie next suited up for the Edmonton Oilers for a single game in 2003-04 before joining the New York Rangers later that same year. Steve played with the Rangers for five seasons before heading to Europe where he finished up his career. While a member of the Rangers organization in 2004-05, Valiquette won the AHL’s Hap Holmes Memorial Award for his goaltending excellence.
Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the Edmonton Oilers 25-year anniversary patch. The game wear on this 1st set size 58 Goalie cut alternate is on the lighter side as would be expected. Shown above is a beautiful photo match of Valiquette wearing this exact jersey during the 2003-04 season. 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. A beautiful photo matched alternate that was worn by Valiquette during his only game between the pipes as a member of the Oilers. This jersey will be accompanied by an Oilers team letter.
