Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Currently serving as the goaltending development coach of the Boston Bruins, Mike Dunham would be selected from the New Jersey Devils in the 1998 NHL Expansion Draft by the Nashville Predators and would go on to play 217 of his 394 National Hockey League games with the club between 1998 and 2002. Sticking around in the NHL until the end of the 2006-07 season and enjoying additional stints with the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Atlanta Thrashers and New York Islanders, Dunham also represented Team USA on numerous occasions, winning a silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and a bronze medal at the 2004 IIHF World Hockey Championships. Offered here, we present this Rangers "Vintage" jersey worn by Dunham during the 2003-04 season in a pair of contests that occurred on January 17th, 2004 vs Montreal and January 20th, 2004 vs Boston. Made by CCM and sporting both "Goalie Style" and size "60" labels affixed to the inner collar, the air-knit construction garment modelled after the jerseys worn by New York between 1976 and 1978 has had the NHL shield embroidered into the reverse hem alongside a CCM logo patch that has been sewn on. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Rangers shield crest that features embroidered details, the NHL's Vintage Series program patch has been added over the right breast. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Dunham's number "30" in single layer tackle twill numerals, "Dunham" has been spelt out in matching style letters that have been sewn directly to the material of the jersey at the top of the reverse. Worn for just a pair of games, the jersey shows game-wear via puck marks over the front and both sleeves as well as red post/crossbar paint transfers over both sleeves, left shoulder and lower reverse, a small number of dark marks appear over the reverse as well. Having had a MeiGray tag numbered "B10652" sewn inside the reverse hem, the company's population report lists the jersey as being a "Blue Vintage Set 1 - Worn 1/17/04 v. Montreal and 1/20/04 v. Boston" example. Accompanied by an LOA, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #52297276 (January 20th, 2004 vs Boston) to the puck mark in the white portion of the front crest.
