Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Known by his nicknames "K-Mart" and "The Old Bear", Kevin Martin has won pretty much all one can in the sport of curling including an Olympic gold medal on home soil in 2010, a world champion in 2008 and multiple Brier's, the annual Canadian men's curling championship. The record holder for most victories at the Winter Olympic Games with twenty (20), Martin served as a major influence in the development of the sport of curling, establishing the competitive tier in the sport and setting the groundwork for the management of curling teams and the creation of high-level competitive curling events. Named the greatest Canadian male skip in the country's curling history in a 2019 poll by TSN, offered here is this podium jacket worn by Martin as a member of Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia where he led Canada to gold over Norway. A beautiful red coloured garment made by official uniform provider Hudson's Bay Company, brand/Canadian Olympic Committee and size "L" labeling is affixed to the inner collar while the front of the jacket, featuring a zipper closure over the front with a rubber Team Canada jewel at the the end of the pull tab, is decorated with "Canada" in white letters that sport embroidered details around the edges. Also having had Hudson's Bay Company and Canadian Olympic Committee crests added over the front with additional Canada and Vancouver 2010 emblems over both sleeves as well, knitted accents are found around the collar and at the end of both sleeves. Remaining in excellent condition overall with no issues to speak of, the jacket hails from Martin's personal collection and is accompanied by his signed LOA.
