This home blue air-knit gamer by Reebok was worn by Ryan O’Reilly during the 2016-17 NHL season. The Colorado Avalanche selected O’Reilly in the 2nd round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. O’Reilly jumped right from juniors to the Avalanche where he played for 6 seasons and won a Lady Byng Memorial Trophy before joining the Buffalo Sabres for a three year stint. O’Reilly joined the St. Louis Blues in 2018-19 and enjoyed his best season to date, scoring 28 goals and 77 points. When the playoffs rolled around, this Center added 8 goals and 15 assists for 23 points en route to the first Stanley Cup Championship in franchise history. O’Reilly was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP and also earned the 2018-19 Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL’s top defensive forward.
