Selected 102nd overall by the Nashville Predators in 2009, Mattias Ekholm has played in over 800 games in his NHL career with the Preds and helping them to a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2017, as well as the Edmonton Oilers. More of a stay-at-home defenseman than an offensive one and having developed with Mora IK in his native Sweden, Ekholm has played for the Swedish National Team on numerous occasions, winning a gold medal at the 2018 IIHF World Championships. Offered here, we present this Team Sweden jersey worn by Ekholm at the 2019 IIHF World Championships. Made by Nike, size "60", "Made in Canada" and Swoosh logos have been screened on to the inner collar above a sewn on "IIHF Authentic Collection" label while an IIHF logo patch has been added over the reverse hem. Sporting an additional Nike Swoosh logo over the right breast and the distinguished alternate captain's "A" over the left breast, the front of the jersey is decorated with Sweden's three crowns team crest in tackle twill style with a thin metallic blue vinyl layer around the edge of each. Also having had the logo of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association sublimated into the material atop of both shoulders, matching "Svenska Spel" sponsorship patches have been sewn on over both sleeves as well. Having been styled over the sleeves and verso with Ekholm's number "14" in dual layer sublimated twill numerals that have been heat-pressed on, "Ekholm" has been spelt out in single layer yellow twill numerals that have been heat pressed on across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Sporting its original fight strap on the interior as well as a Nike Team Sports barcode label, the jersey shows game-wear via a stick mark through the bottom crown on the front and a small board burn to the left of the "1" on the left sleeve. Regarding the photo-match the jersey has been photo-matched with Ekholm's 2019 BY Card - IIHF World Championship #29 card to the stick mark through the bottom crown on the front.
