The first edition of the World Cup of Hockey featured eight teams divided into two groups. The European Group, whose games were all played in Europe, included the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, and Sweden. The North American Group played in North American cities and included Canada, Russia, Slovakia, and the United States. Little was expected of the German National Team, given the context of the hockey powerhouses they would face. However, in the biggest surprise of the tournament, Germany defeated Czech Republic 7-1 on August 31st at home in Garmisch, eliminating the Czechs and sending the Germans into the quarter-finals. Germany then traveled to Montreal and was knocked out of the Quarters by Team Canada by a score of 4-1.
This striking black airknit German National Team uniform was worn during the games of the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. Nike sweater is tagged by the company in the collar and displays the swoosh on the right shoulder. The front crest design is sublimated while all numbers and letters are added in tackle-twill. The inner hem holds a heat-pressed inventory control bar code label with the Nike Team Sports identifier. Germany wore their black jerseys in the August 28th 8-3 loss to Finland and the August 31st 7-1 victory over the Czechs.
After a season with the Moose Jaw Warriors in 1984-85, Mark MacKay would head over to Germany where he would spend his entire hockey career. This black airknit, worn by Mark during the games of the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, is tagged in the collar by Nike in size 56. Mark had a good tournament, scoring once and adding three assists over four games. We count about 20 good stick marks and board burns on this one. Comes with a letter of authenticity from the NHLPA.
