Held in historic Madison Square Gardens in front of over 18,000 enthusiastic fans, the 1994 NHL All-Star Game was the 45th time the event was held, with the typically high scoring affair finishing with a 9-8 victory for the Eastern Conference over the Western. This Eastern Conference jersey was worn in one of the three periods by goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck, and it’s been signed. CCM and Center Ice labels along with a size 56 fly tag sit affixed to the collar, with embroidered NHL and CCM crests on the back bottom hem. Featuring a partially embroidered twill “Eastern” team crest, the sweater has been accented with double-twill numbers with the name on verso placed directly onto the nameplate. The important 1994 NHL All-Star Game patches rests over each shoulder, with a security hologram from the Upper Deck Authenticated company heat-pressed onto the inside hem, a feature common to all game-worn uniforms from the 1994 game. Visible wear on the desirable sweater includes a few stains on the lower front. Johnny V has added a nice black marker signature between the numbers on verso, and it displays well. An NHLPA LOA will accompany, along with a UDA COA for the signature.
