Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
The first Dane in history to be a part of a Stanley Cup championship, Lars Eller spent six seasons with the Bleu Blanc Rouge before winning Lord Stanley’s grail with the Washington Capitals, in 2018. A veteran of over 1000 games in his National Hockey League career thus far after being originally drafted by the St. Louis Blues 13th overall at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, offered here is this Montreal Canadiens jersey donned by Eller during the first period of the 2011 NHL Heritage Classic against the Calgary Flames on February 20th, 2011 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Made by Reebok and displaying a lone size "56" label affixed to the inner collar, the crests of both the NHL and Reebok adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front with Montreal's famed "CH" team crest in layered tackle twill with embroidered details, the all-important 2011 NHL Heritage Classic event patch sits over the right breast while the sleeves and verso have been styled with Eller's number "81" in dual layer blue-over-red tackle twill numerals. Having had "Eller" spelt out in single layer blue twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse, the jersey, worn only during the first period of play, retains its fight strap on the interior and shows no obvious signs of game-wear other than some light staining under the collar, remaining in excellent condition overall. Signed by Eller through the bottom of the front crest with a black marker ink signature that displays without issue, a Canadiens hologram numbered "GW48534" has been affixed to the bottom of the "1" on the reverse while a Canadiens team tag numbered "A02306" has been sewn inside the reverse hem. Accompanied by a matching Canadiens LOA, it needs to be noted that a MeiGray tag numbered "H06916" has been sewn on inside the reverse hem as well with their Population Report listing the jersey as a "White - Heritage Classic 2/20/11 - Period 3 - Player Set" offering. Additionally, Eller has signed through the "8" on the reverse also but the blue marker ink signature is very tough to see.
