Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
A shining light in otherwise hockey-desolate West Virginia, the Wheeling Nailers began life as the Winston-Salem Thunderbirds in 1981, originally playing in the now-defunct ACHL. A number of relocations have occurred throughout their existence, with the Thunderbirds becoming the Nailers in 1996. The club also accomplished a first place North Division finish in 2003-04. We have a Nailers jersey that was worn by netminder Tyler MacKay during the first half of the 2003-04 ECHL regular season. SP labeling and a Pro “58G” size tag sit along the collar, with SP and ECHL crests over the reverse bottom hem. Styled with a Jasonesque hockey mask team crest - reminiscent of the Friday the 13th protagonist - with crossed spikes along with “Nailers Wheeling” embroidered below, tri-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers have been utilized, with sponsorship patches over both the front and reverse along with a Pittsburgh Penguins crest over the right shoulder. With just light game use exhibited including faint burns, the jersey remains in wonderful condition. An LOA will accompany along with a COR from MeiGray.
