Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction March 2011

Finnish-born netminder Jari Kaarela saw action in just five games for the Colorado Rockies in 1980-81. The goaltending job was a tough nut to crack that year with Al Smith, Hardy Astrom, Chico Resch and Phil Myre ahead of him in the depth chart. Kaarela's white mesh home jersey shows decent use with a large area of post paint transfer on the left arm and multiple dark stick marks on the front, back and sleeves. A Rawlings company tag in the neck indicates size 48 and the logos are screened to the shirt and the numbers are all the thicker heat-pressed versions. It must be noted that the nameplate has been removed but we will include the original knit "Kaarela" plate with the jersey. Leave it as is, or re-attach... the choice is yours. Superb jersey from a long gone team should interest many.
