Held between December 26, 2003, and January 5, 2004, in Helsinki and Hämeenlinna, Finland, the 2004 edition of the IIHF WOrld Junior Hockey championships saw the United States win their first ever World Junior gold medal, defeating Team Canada in the gold medal game by a score of 4-3 by scoring three (3) unanswered goals in the third (3rd) period. Offered here, we present this collection of Team Canada 2004 IIHF World Junior Championships team-signed memorabilia including a stick, jersey and media guide. Starting with the stick, a Nike Quest-3 Team Canada edition twig that has never been taped and features Team Canada graphics over both sides, an additional graphic reading "M. Lemieux" is found at the top of the shaft as well. Signed by approximately twenty-one (21) members of that year's Team Canada squad over the forehand side of the blade, prominent signatures present include those of Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf, Marc-Andre Fleury, Brent Seabrook and others. All having signed in black marker ink, all the autographs display well and without issue. Also including a Team Canada jersey signed by the 2004 junior squad as well, the Nike made garment sporting brand and size "XL" tagging affixed to the inner collar while a Team Canada crest is present over the front that features embroidered details throughout. Also sporting matching heritage logo crests over both shoulders, the jersey remains in excellent condition with just a couple of very light spot stains observed and it is worth noting that the hem has been sewn shut, likely for the purpose of display. Having been signed over the front around the crest by approximately twenty-six (26) team members, once again the prominent names of Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf, Marc-Andre Fleury and Brent Seabrook are present along with many others. All having signed in black marker ink, all the signatures display without issue. Finally, the last image included is a 2004 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship Team Canada National Junior Team media guide that has been signed on the interior thirty-two (32) players and staff. Remaining in excellent condition with light wear and an "MP" penned to the top right corner of the cover, among the signatures, all penned in black marker ink on the interior, present are those of Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf, Marc-Andre Fleury and Brent Seabrook plus others such as Ryan Getzlaf, Brent Burns, Jeff Carter and others with all appearing in excellent condition overall. All hailing from the personal collection of former Team Canada team physician, Dr. Michel Parayre, his signed LOA will accompany the lot.
