Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2025
Playing his junior hockey with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League and helping them to an OHL Championship in 1983, Peter Sidorkiewicz would be drafted 91st overall by the Washington Capitals at the 1981 NHL Entry Draft and would go on to play a total of 246 games in the National Hockey League with the likes of Hartford, Ottawa and New Jersey. Experiencing the bulk of his NHL time between 1988-89 and 1992-93, offered here is this photo-matched Hartford Whalers jersey worn by Sidorkiewicz during the 1990-91 season, the only year the Whalers wore heavy mesh jerseys with the seen CCM/NHL logo combination embroidered into the reverse hem, which has been photo-matched to the 1991 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Boston Bruins. Made by CCM from a heavy mesh construction, a partially washed out brand label which has had Peter's number "30" penned to it in black marker ink is affixed to the inner collar while both the CCM "big block" and NHL shield logos have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Retaining its fight strap on the interior and measuring out to roughly a size "54" for its effort, the front of the jersey has been decorated with a Whalers team crest that has been administered in a dual layer tackle twill style while the sleeves (which have been cut below the elbow to Sidorkiewicz's liking) and verso have been style with Sidorkiewicz's number "30" in dual layer white-over-blue tackle twill numerals. Also having had "Sidorkiewicz" spelt out in matching style letters that have been sewn directly to the material over the upper reverse, the jersey shows excellent wear throughout including puck marks over the front, lower front, reverse and both sleeves, red post paint transfer marks through the "0" on the right sleeve and numbers on the reverse, spot staining throughout and some small tears/popped threads over the lower front, the interior of the jersey shows a bit of fraying around the seams. Regarding the photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #50729875 (April 11th, 1991 vs Boston - Adams Division Semi-finals Game 5) to the puck mark through the front crest and to the puck mark seen to the left of the team crest near the top.
