A product of the Porin Ässät system who played a single season in SM-liiga before his draft year, Jesperi Kotkaniemi would hear his name called 3rd overall by the Montreal Canadiens at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and has gone on to a National Hockey League career that has seen him wear the colours of both Montreal and the Carolina Hurricanes thus far in his career. A gold medalist with Finland at the 2018 IIHF World U18 Championships, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Kotkaniemi during 2017-18 U20 Euro Hockey Tour contests in which he registered three (3) points in three (3) games played. Made by Warrior, brand labeling along with a size "XXL" fly tag is affixed to the inner collar while Warrior logos have been sublimated into the material of the front and reverse necklines. Decorated over the front of the faux tie-neck garment with a Team Finland crest that features embroidered details throughout its entirety, various sponsorship logos have been sublimated into the material of the jersey at the shoulders, collar bones, lower front, upper sleeves and lower reverse while Finnish Ice Hockey Association logos are also present in sublimated style over each forearm and sewn over the lower left side. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Kotkaniemi's number "9" in single layer blue tackle twill numerals, a nameplate with "Kotkaniemi" spelt out across it in sublimated blue letters is affixed to the top of the reverse. Featuring a fight strap on the interior, the jersey displays light game-wear in the form of light board burns over both sleeves. A Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA will accompany the piece.
