A two-time OHL Champion and Memorial Cup Champion in 2005, Dan Girardi would enjoy a 13-year NHL career after going undrafted, with 11 of them spent in the uniform of the New York Rangers. Offered here, is this collection of equipment worn by Girardi in the early-to-mid 2010s as a member of the Rangers. First, a pair of Easton Pro Model gloves from the 2011-12 season are included. Photo-matched to the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, “Girardi” is embroidered into the cuff of each glove with screened on Easton graphics over the front and back of each wrist along with a sewn-on Easton logo patch over each thumb. Sporting stick marks, fraying and smudging of the logo on the left wrist, the palms are free from holes while having a good amount of rubbing. The helmet, hailing from the 2014-15 season, is an Easton E400 model with an Oakley visor, “NYR” decals appear over each side. Girardi’s number “5” is seen over the crown and reverse along with NHL and “Garden of Dreams stickers. With an intact strapping harness and interior padding the helmet shows good game-use with numerous marks, scratches and abrasions to the helmet and visor. Lastly, is a pair of Bauer Vapor APX2 skates worn by the defenceman during the 2014-15 season as well. Photo-matched, the skates are void of their blades and measure out to a size 11. With both insoles still present, the original laces are included while Rangers barcode stickers displaying Girardi’s number “5” are affixed to the bottom of each boot. Good game-use is seen with both the blade holders and boots showing numerous marks, nicks and abrasions. All the items have Steiner holograms affixed with the helmet and skates accompanied by matching LOA’s.
Regarding the aforementioned photo-matches, the gloves are matches with Getty Image #144688299 (May 16, 2012 vs New Jersey Devils – Game 2 ECF) to the blue smear in “Easton” on the left wrist as well as to numerous black stick marks on both gloves.
