Celebrating the 2011 Winter Classic that pitted the Washington Capitals against their rival Pittsburgh Penguins, we have Nicklas Backstrom’s helmet and gloves worn in both the 2011 Winter Classic played on Jan 1st, and ‘Turn Back the Clock’ night on Feb 1st 2011 honouring Dino Ciccarelli. The helmet is a Bauer model in solid red with Caps decals over each side, along with “19” over the reverse, encompassed by NHL and Winter Classic stickers. The gloves are also Bauer models in Caps colours, with “Backstrom” embroidered along each side. As an added bonus, we also have a stick used by the Swede, with a Bauer Vapor model, with “Backstrom” visible through the cloth handle tape, with the original white tape over the blade intact. LOAs from the Caps will accompany both the helmet and gloves.
The helmet has the chin strap and interior harness intact along with the visor, with light but definite wear visible including scratches. The visor also exhibits notable wear as well. The gloves show just very light wear to the right palm, with no issues whatsoever. Lastly, the stick feature’s a serial number along the underside, with nice use exhibited, with marks to both sides of the blade along with some red paint transfer over the lower shaft.
