Guarding the crease of the Americans at the 2008 IIHF World Championships, with the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver witnessing the Stanley Cup champion serve as backup, Tim Thomas took the year off from representing his nation in 2009-10, and we offer a blocker and glove from the season with each photo-matched (not as a pair), along with pairs of skate boots and blade holders. Bauer models in Bruins’ white, black and gold colour scheme, “Thomas” is embroidered to each, with no player identifiers on the blade holders or boots. The blocker and glove both show great game-use with considerable wear present including numerous puck marks, with the boots and blade holders showing light wear. Inventory labels presumably from the Bruins that list Thomas along with the particulars have been affixed to the blocker and glove, with the blocker also initialed by Kay Whitmore in his capacity as goaltending supervisor of the NHL (the blocker also sports a customization, with the pinky and ring fingers sewn together). Hailing from his personal collection, a signed LOA from Tim Thomas will accompany.
Getty Image #95589062 (Dec 29, 2009) has been matched to numerous marks on the wrist guard and pocket of the glove, while Getty Image #91668403 (Oct 8, 2009) has been matched to numerous marks on the face of the blocker.
