A first round draft choice in 2006, netminder Jonathan Bernier has seen action with five different NHL clubs, and is currently with the Detroit Red Wings. From the 2018-19 NHL season, we have signed pads along with a blocker and glove used by Bernier, with these accompanied by uniform pants that have been photo-matched. The blocker/glove and pads were produced by CCM (Extreme Flex models) and are in Red Wings colours, with “Bernier” embroidered over each item. We should also note that the blocker/glove and pads were used in 2018-19 according to Bernier, but we were unable to photo-match any of the three. The blocker, glove and pants have each been signed in black marker, with the outer section of each goal pad signed in blue sharpie. Signed LOAs from Bernier will accompany each item.
The blocker and glove both show nice use, with numerous puck marks covering the face of the blocker and pocket of the glove. The pads also show nice use, with puck marks covering each. The CCM pants feature a Red Wings logo over the front right pant leg, with an NHL shield crest over the reverse. Heavy use is exhibited with numerous puck marks visible, with some fraying to the threading at the base of each pant leg. Getty Images #1079386088 (Nov 26, 2018), #1076839206 (Dec 2, 2018) and #1127121162 (Feb 24, 2019) have all been matched to a number of marks on the white stripe over the left side and surrounding area. We should also note that the blocker, glove and pants have all been initialed by Kay Whitmore, serving in his capacity as the NHL's senior director of hockey operations and goaltender equipment, with the left pad also initialed, with “3-18” handwritten.
