    Patrick Roy 1997-99 Game Worn Colorado Avalanche Jersey (MeiGray LOA)


    It is hard to overstate just how a good a goaltender Patrick Roy was throughout his career. Nicknamed "St. Patrick", Roy split his professional career between the Montreal Canadiens and Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League, winning two Stanley Cups with each franchise. In 1989, 1990 and 1992, Roy won the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender in the NHL. In 2004, Roy was selected as the greatest goaltender in NHL history by a panel of 41 writers, coupled with a simultaneous fan poll. On November 13, 2006, Roy was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

    This 1997-99 Colorado Avalanche jersey was worn by Roy and comes with a Letter of Authenticity from MeiGray. As per the MeiGray LOA, the sleeves exhibit light pilling near the cuffs. The front of the jersey exhibits black pucks marks on the jersey and crest. There is also a tear above the bottom left hem. The right shoulder exhibits black puck marks. There are rust deposits on the snaps of the fight strap.

    According to MeiGray, "Characteristics of this jersey; "STARTER" and NHL shield embroidered on the back hem, tagging, lettering, crest, fight strap and the design are consistent with other 1997-99 game-worn Colorado Avalanche jerseys we have examined. The "58G-11-23" tagging below the Starter tag in the collar is consistent with other Patrick Roy game-worn jerseys we have examined from this era. This jersey was consigned by Rob Steinmetz.

    Here is your chance to acquire a fantastic gamer of one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history.

    Re: Patrick Roy -question for Rob or Barry Meisel

    Hi Guys -

    I was wondering, as both of you are connected to this jersey [Rob as consignor, Barry from the MG side], if either of you could give me some information as to how it was acquired from the Avs?

    I am a complete hocky gamer novice but was interested in this jersey.

    Thanks in advance,

    Tom

      Hi Tom,

      We authenticated this jersey based on visual examination, photo evidence, and comparisons to other Avs jerseys from this era acquired directly from the team and through the secondary market.

      I will let Rob and the GUU team speak to the provenance.

      Hope this helps,
      Barry

        The jersey originated from one of the auctions held at gameworn.net (this is a very popular site among hockey collectors). Due to the fact that it didn't have any verifiable provenance, we felt as though sending it to MeiGray for their examination was important. The jersey does come with their letter. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

        Best,
