A two-time NCAA National Champion with the University of Michigan Wolverines in 1996 and 1998, Marty Turco owns claim to the NCAA all-time wins record by a goalie with 127 over four (4) years. Originally drafted 124th overall by the Dallas Stars in 1994, Turco would go on to play 11 seasons in the National Hockey League, including nine (9) with Dallas where he set numerous franchise records. Hailing from his lone season as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks, we present this photo-matched jersey worn by Turco during the 2010-11 season. Made by Reebok and displaying both "Goalie Style" and size "58" labels affixed to the inner collar, handwritten notations reading "2" and "2011" for the set and year are found above in the same place. Accented over the front and reverse necklines with the logos of the NHL shield and Reebok respectively, the front of the jersey is decorated with Chicago's famed Indian head crest which features beautiful chain-stitched details throughout. Having had matching tomahawk patches applied over each shoulder, once again in chain-stitched style, the sleeves and verso have had Turco's number "30" sewn to them in dual layer white-over-black tackle twill numerals while "Turco" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate. Exhibiting just light game-wear, stick marks are found over the lower right sleeve, the lower reverse, left shoulder and under the team crest on the front with red post paint mark over the reverse number "0" and at the reverse right hip while some frayed threads are observed on the interior. Sporting a Blackhawks team patch sewn underneath the fight strap on the interior and accompanied by a matching Blackhawks LOA, the jersey is photo-matched with Getty Image #108081681 (January 16th, 2011 vs Nashville) to the red post paint marks through the "0" on the reverse and at the reverse right hip hem. Additionally, an 8" x 10" photo of Turco as a member of the Blackhawks that has been signed by him will also accompany the lot.
