Does he really need an introduction? Perhaps the greatest player of his generation and maybe the greatest in the current iteration of the National Hockey League, Connor McDavid has been tearing up the league since he first entered it back in 2015-16. Amassing a total of 858 points in 574 games, as of the time of this writing, McDavid is only destined to pile up even more accolades to go with the ones that have already been earned by the young superstar. Hailing from the 2021-22 season, in which he added a 4th Art Ross Trophy to his collection with stat line of 123 points (44 goals and 79 assists) in 80 games played, offered here is this pair of gloves worn by the Edmonton Oilers superstar for a portion of that fruitful season.
Worn by McDavid for a total of twenty-five games between Feb. 20, 2022 to April 14, 2022 in which he scored 15 goals and added 23 assists for 38 points, it was over this period of time that these gloves were worn that Connor would notched his 100th point, 30th, 40th goals of the season, and three overtime game-winning goals. He also had his 200th career multipoint game. Additionally, on April 7, 2022, McDavid joined Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Marcel Dionne, Guy Lafleur, Denis Savard and Bobby Orr as the seventh player in NHL history to have multiple point streaks of at least 15 games in a single NHL season and also scored in a career-best six straight games (seven goals), the longest by an Oiler since Jimmy Carson in 1988-89 (seven games), all while wearing the pair of gloves being offered.
CCM Pro model gauntlets in Edmonton's navy blue and orange colourway, "McDavid" is screened over each wrist. Having had the CCM logo embroidered into each cuff with additional logos screened over the thumbs, the gloves show heavy use with wear via rubbing to each palm worth noting while the right palm sports a hole through the first layer of material. Displaying additional wear via marks/abrasions and small tears to the fabric on the outside of each hand, a zip-tie displaying a MeiGray hologram numbered "MGA32149" is affixed to the inside of the right cuff and is accompanied by an Oilers/MeiGray LOA that has had a matching hologram affixed.
Regarding photo-matches, Getty Image #1390209254 (April 7th, 2022 vs Los Angeles) has been matched to frays/holes on the pointer finger of McDavid's left glove as well as numerous marks over the fingers on the right glove as well. Additionally, Getty Image #1239794113 (April 5th, 2022 vs San Jose) has been matched to the frayed remains of the tag on the inside of McDavid's left glove and to marks over the fingers on the right glove.
