A product of the USHL's Sioux City Musketeers and Jokerit in the KHL, Eeli Tolvanen would hear his name called 30th overall by the Nashville Predators at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and has gone on to skate with both the Predators and Seattle Kraken thus far in his career after being claimed off waivers by Seattle in 2022. Also having represented his native Finland on numerous occasions already, winning gold at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship and being named to the Olympic All-Star Team in 2018, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Tolvanen during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Made by Nike, size "58", "Made in Canada" and a Swoosh logo are all screened on to the inner collar above a sewn in "IIHF Authentic Collection" label. Sporting a 2018 Winter Olympic Games patch over the reverse hem and an additional Nike logo over the left breast, the front of the jersey is decorated with a sublimated twill Team Finland crest that has been heat-pressed on while the sleeves and verso have had Tolvanen's number "20" added to them in dual layer sublimated twill numerals that have also been heat-pressed on. Displaying "Tolvanen" spelt out in heat-pressed on single layer twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the upper reverse, the jersey, featuring a fight strap and Nike Team Sports barcode on the interior, shows good game-wear via numerous board burns over both sleeves as well as a couple of additional marks over the left side hip and lower reverse. A Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA will accompany the piece.
