Classic Auctions is pleased to have been selected by the Russian Ice hockey Federation to offer at auction a complete set of jerseys worn by the young phenoms during the 2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships held in Alberta over this past holiday season. Each jersey will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity signed by the President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation, Hall-of-Fame goaltender Vladislav Tretiak.
This red Team Russia uniform was worn by diminutive CKSA Moscow defenseman Nikita Gusev during the 2012 World Junior Championships. The jersey was worn on December 29th, 2011 at the Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada as the Russians defeated Team Latvia by a score of 14-0 in the preliminary round. Gusev is exciting to watch, considering his size. He scored a pair of goals in the game and was awarded assists on five more goals. Going into the gold medal game, Nikita is ranked top ten in tournament scoring. Manufactured by Nike, the number 8 air-knit jersey is a size 56 and features an IIHF patch on the lower rear hem and Nike's inventory barcode label screened inside. Light game use overall but we do spot some light scuffing including a burn on the lower left sleeve.
