Pitting Original Six rivals against each other in an outdoor stadium setting, the NHL Centennial Classic featured the Toronto Maple Leafs taking on the Detroit Red Wings at BMO Field in Toronto, on New Years’ Day in 2017. Preceded by the Rogers NHL Centennial Classic Alumni Game on Dec 31st, the Centennial Classic witnessed the Leafs slip past the Wings in overtime, 5-4 on a goal by Auston Matthews in front of over 40,000 fans that braved the day’s elements and cold weather. Offered here, is this Red Wings practice practice jersey worn by Detroit goalie Jared Coreau during the team's outdoor practice before the contest on December 30th, 2016. Made by Reebok, both "Goalie Style" and size "58" labels are affixed to the inner collar, with the first of those listed having had Coreau's number "31" penned to it in black marker ink. Also sporting a size "58" Reebok jock tag over the front hem, the front of the jersey is decorated with a familiar Red Wings team crest that was utilized for the game only while the all-important Centennial Classic event patch has been added over the right shoulder. With NHL shield and Reebok logo crests residing over the front and reverse necklines respectively, the jersey retains its fight strap on the interior and shows no obvious signs of use, remaining in overall beautiful condition.
