A product of Sokil Kyiv in the USSR who would also represent the Soviet Union and Ukraine in international competition throughout the entirety of his playing career, Dmitri Khristich would be drafted 120th overall by the Washington Capitals at the 1988 NHL Entry Draft and go on to play in 811 National Hockey League contests over the course of twelve (12 ) years in the league with the Capitals as well as Los Angeles, Boston and Toronto. A gold medalist at the 1990 IIHF World Championships, offered here is this Toronto Maple Leafs third jersey worn by Khristich during the 2000-01 season. A classic tie-neck style garment made by Koho, both "Made in Canada" and size "56" labels are affixed to the inner collar while a Koho logo patch has been added over the reverse neckline and the NHL shield has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a vintage style Maple Leafs team crest that has had "Toronto Maple Leafs" and other details embroidered into it, the sleeves and verso have been styled with Khristich's number "8" in single layer blue tackle twill numerals while "Khristich" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Having had a Leafs team tagging patch sewn on inside the reverse hem that denotes the jersey as a "2000-2001 Game Worn 3rd Jersey", the garment shows game-wear in the from of stick marks over the front, reverse and both sleeves with board burns present over both sleeves as well, including one (1) that has resulted in a small hole through the first layer of material on the left elbow. Sporting some light pilling on the interior of the jersey, a Leafs team LOA will accompany along with a MeiGray COR. Of note, the nameplate appears with a yellow tone due to aging of the adhesive used to hold it down before stitching.
