Originally a fourth (4th) round draft pick of the Quebec Nordiques at the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, Milan Hejduk would follow the franchise to Colorado and skate for the Avalanche throughout the entirety of his National Hockey League career, winning a Stanley Cup in 2001 and scoring fifty (50) goals during the 2002-03 season to claim the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the league's leading goal scorer. Also a two-time Olympic medalist with his native Czech Republic (gold in 1998 and bronze in 2006), offered here is this photo-matched Colorado Avalanche third jersey worn by Hejduk during the 2009-10 season. Made by Reebok, a lone size "56" tag sits affixed to the inner collar while both NHL shield and Reebok logo crests have been added to the front and reverse necklines of the tie-neck style garment respectively. Decorated over the front with “Colorado” going diagonally down the chest in dual layer white-over-black tackle twill letters, matching primary logo patches are found resting on top of each shoulder while "Avalanche" is sublimated into the material of the reverse neckline. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Hejduk's number "23" in matching style white-over-black dual layer tackle twill numerals, "Hejduk" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the back. Having had the distinguished alternate captain's "A" added over the left breast of the faux tie-neck style garment and displaying with just light game-wear on the exterior through a dark stick mark to the right of the alternate captain's "A", wear on the interior of the jersey includes pilling/fraying and loose threads while the stitching at the end of the left cuff has let go. Having had a MeiGray tag numbered "G01147" sewn inside the reverse hem, according to the company's population report, the jersey is a "Third Set 1 w/A" specimen. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #95631320 (January 6th, 2010 vs New York) to the dark stick mark to the right of the alternate captain's "A". An LOA will accompany the piece.
