Sniper Marie-Philip Poulin took to the world stage like a fish to water, scoring both goals in Canada's 2-0 win against the Americans in the gold medal game in Vancouver in 2010, and then brought her dramatic flair to yet another level in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, again against the Americans, by notching the tying goal with just 54.6 seconds left in regulation and then the game-winner in overtime to give her team another cherished gold medal. We have Marie-Philip's game-worn jersey from Sochi when she and her Team Canada squad trounced Switzerland 5-0 in the preliminary round on February, 8, 2014, a night when she would contribute a goal and an assist in the big shutout win over the Swiss. This black third jersey has the Nike logo and size 54 printed in the back of the collar above a sewn-on IIHF tag (and "W" fly tag), Nike's inventory bar code is heat-pressed into the inner rear hem, and a "Sochi.ru 2014" patch is sewn onto the right rear tail. Faint and small scatterings of marks are noticeable on the black material of this gamer that comes with an LOA. Poulin has been part of Canada's National Women's Team since 2007 and along with her Olympic gold medals in Vancouver and Sochi are, among many other successes, IIHF World Women's Championships where she won silver in 2009, 2011, and 2013, and gold in 2012. Inspired by memorable vintage Team Canada jerseys, this black third jersey was designed to inspire our Olympians to win again. The advanced polyester/spandex fabric used makes for a remarkably lightweight jersey which has an approximate weight of 448 grams and is made from 73 percent recycled polyester as part of Nike’s commitment to produce performance apparel with reduced environmental impact. Each jersey is made from up to 17 recycled plastic water bottles! The fight strap is intact and a long laundry instruction fly tag is sewn into the inside of the left seam. A glued on double twill gold and white maple leaf is on the left sleeve with gold piping and a Canadian Olympic Committee logo twill patch is glued on the right sleeve. Rubberized maple leafs are applied around the collar. White twill surname letters are glued onto a sewn-on nameplate while the white and red twill numbers on sleeves and back are sewn-on. The bold white twill “Canada” is glued on with gold piping and was to remind the world of Canada’s hockey heritage while the gold piping on the badges and gold maple leaf on the shoulder was to remind the world of Canada’s goal to win gold medals in Sochi.Classic Auctions in association with Frameworth sports marketing, are proud to offer you this unique piece of memorabilia from the 2014 Winter Olympics.
