First donning the maple leaf at the senior level in 1990 while representing Canada at the World Championship, Theoren Fleury would also be selected by Wayne Gretzky to play for his country at the 2002 Olympic Games in Utah, winning a gold medal after thoroughly beating the Americans in the final. This Team Canada jersey was worn by Fleury at the 2002 games, and it’s been video and photo-matched. Nike size tagging along with an IIHF label sits along the collar, with an IIHF patch on the back bottom hem. Styled with the familiar Team Canada crest that first saw use in 1995, the solid white garment has been accented with double-twill sleeve and verso numbers, with matching alternate patches over each shoulder. An LOA on Classic Auctions letterhead signed by John Pickett (Nike Hockey) and Frank Selke Jr. (Special Olympics Canada) will accompany.
Game-wear on the international garment includes a large stick mark on the lower front, with a few additional marks over each sleeve. Regarding the previously mentioned video-match, an included VHS tape shows footage that has been matched to marks on the left cuff and on the lower right side, while Getty Image #72342469 from Feb 18th 2002 has been photo-matched to the big black stick mark below the team crest. We should also note that Classic Auctions originally sold 23 jerseys from the 2002 Team Canada Olympic hockey team, with this jersey part of that original sale back in 2003.
