Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2024
Playing his junior hockey with the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League, Glen Wesley would be drafted 3rd overall by the Boston Bruins at the 1987 NHL Entry Draft and would go on to play a total of 1457 games in the National Hockey League with the likes of Boston, Hartford, Carolina and Toronto. Playing in the NHL All-Star Game in 1989 and winning a Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes in 2006, offered here is this Whalers jersey worn by Wesley during the 1996-97 season, the club's final season in the City of Hartford before relocating to Carolina. Made by Starter, a size label reading "54-R" with Wesley's number "20" penned to it in now washed out black marker ink is found affixed to the inner collar along with additional "Center Ice Authentic Collection" and Starter/NHL tags as well. Having had both the Starter and NHL shield logos embroidered into the reverse hem, the front of the jersey is decorated with a Whalers team crest that has been administered in a stacked tackle twill style. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Wesley's number "20" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Wesley" has been spelt out in single layer white tackle twill letters that have been sewn on over the affixed matching nameplate that is in place at the top of the reverse. Exhibiting light but game-wear throughout the entirety of the piece and sporting a Whalers team stamp from Custom Crafted inside the reverse hem that denotes the piece as an "Official Hartford Whalers 2nd Set 1996-97 Season" offering as well as the distinguished alternate captain's "A" over the left breast, the jersey sports light stick marks, board burns and a red coloured board paint transfer over the lower front as well as board burns over both sleeves. Also displaying pilling on the interior, it should also be noted that a small number of fabric pulls are present throughout the body and sleeves and that there is just light sweat staining around the collar also.
