One of three (3) goaltenders selected for Team North America at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, Connor Hellebuyck would be the third stringer during the tournament, only seeing action in games leading up to the main event. Having also represented his native United States of America during his career at 2014, 2015 and 2017 IIHF World Championships, offered here, we present this Team North America jersey worn by Hellebuyck during pre-tournament action. An Adidas made offering with a band displaying both "Made in Canada" and size "58G" designations residing over the inner collar, both World Cup of Hockey and Adidas crests adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front with a Team North America crest that features embroidered details throughout, a 2016 World Cup of Hockey event patch has been placed over the left shoulder while an SAP sponsorship patch is displayed over the right one. Having had "XXIII" added to the sleeve near the left cuff in heat pressed roman numerals, representing the 23 players making up the roster, the sleeves and verso have been accented with Hellebuyck's number "37" in sublimated dual layer vented numbers while "Hellebuyck" is spelt out in neon orange letters across the affixed arching nameplate across the top of the back. Having been worn for two (2) games during pre-tournement play including on September 11th, 2016 vs Team Europe (back-up only) and September 14th, 2016 vs Team Czech Republic when Connor relived teammate Matt Murray in the 3rd period of play, the jersey displays no discernible signs of game-wear and remains in beautiful condition. Sporting "E-1" penned to the fight strap on the interior, both Fanatics Game-Worn and MeiGray tags have been added inside the reverse hem at either side with the MeiGray swatch numbered "USA03513" and accompanied by a matching LOA.
