Contributing an assist on a Mario Lemieux goal in the second period to help his Eastern Conference squad to an 11-7 win at the 1997 NHL All-Star Game that was hosted by the San Jose Sharks, the mid-season spectacle marked the fourth and final All-Star contest of Dino Ciccarelli's career. Offered here, we present this Eastern Conference jersey donned by Ciccarelli during the 1997 NHL All-Star Game in San Jose. Made by CCM, the inner collar of the Ultrafil material garment sports CCM, "Center Ice Authentic Collection", "Made in Canada" and size "52" labels while the logos of both CCM and the NHL shield have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a partially embroidered "Eastern Conference" team crest, a Tampa Bay Lighting logo patch has been placed over the left shoulder while the all-important 1997 NHL All-Star Game event logo patch sits atop the right shoulder. Having been accented over the sleeves and verso with Ciccarelli's number "22" in dual-layer tackle twill numerals, "Ciccarelli" is spelt out in matching style dual layer tackle twill letters that have been affixed directly to the material of the jersey at the top of the back. Having had a 1997 NHL All-Star Game stamp applied to the fight strap along with a serial number, indicating that this was one of five jerseys worn for either the official photo shoot, pre-game warm-up or in one of the three periods, the jersey here displays with game-wear in the form of stick marks and board burns over the right sleeve. Additionally, some light stains are seen over the reverse hem and left cuff.
Originally on display at "Ciccarelli's Premier Sports Club and Eatery" restaurant in a frame, the jersey was removed from said frame and therefore has some pinholes from the former mounting while the interior hem is lightly sticky from being held together with mounting tape. Hailing from his personal collection, an LOA signed by Ciccarelli will accompany the piece as well as a framed photo of Ciccarelli that was taken in the contest's pre-game warm-up that shows him alongside Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mark Messier that has been framed to dimensions of approx. 21" x 17".
