One of only three (3) players lucky enough to be a part of all all three Kamloops Blazers Memorial Cup wins in 1992, 1994 and 1995, Darcy Tucker would also win World Junior gold with Canada in 1995 and hear his named called 151st overall by the Montreal Canadiens at the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. Having enjoyed a career that spanned a total of 947 National Hockey League games and a fan favourite of the blue and white faithful during his eight (8) year tenure with the club, offered here is this photo-matched Toronto Maple Leafs jersey worn by Tucker during the 2005-06 campaign in which he posted career highs in goals and points. Made by Reebok, a size "54" tag is affixed to the inner collar while a Reebok vector logo patch has been placed over the reverse neckline. Displaying with the NHL shield embroidered into the reverse hem, the front of the jersey has been decorated with a Maple Leafs team crest that has had "Toronto Maple Leafs" embroidered it while matching "TML" alternate logo patches reside over both shoulders. Of note, residue of a removed alternate captain's "A" is present over the left breast. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Tucker's number "16" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Tucker" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the back. Exhibiting excellent game-wear, stick marks and numerous board burns along with small unrepaired holes are found over the front and both sleeves while reverse shows a couple of stick marks as well. Also riddled with coloured paint transfers over the front hem and both sleeves as well, the interior of the jersey shows some pilling behind the front crest. Having had a MeiGray tag numbered "C09680" affixed inside the reverse hem along with a "2005-2006 Season" patch, according to the company's population report, the jersey is a "Blue Set 1" specimen. Accompanied by a matching MeiGray LOA, the jersey is photo-matched with Getty Image #56026676 (October 22nd, 2005 vs Philadelphia) to the large board burn at Tucker's right shoulder, the stick mark through the "6" on the right sleeve and other assorted board burns and small holes near his right cuff.
