Drafted 161st overall by the Minnesota Wild at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Darcey Kuemper has donned the colours of the Wild as well as the Los Angeles Kings, Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche and currently, the Washington Capitals, during his National Hockey League career thus far, with the goaltender suiting up in fifty-seven (57) regular season and sixteen (16) playoff contests during his lone season with the Avalanche, helping them to the franchises third Stanley Cup championship over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Offered here, we present this photo-matched Avalanche jersey worn by Kuemper during the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals. Made by Adidas, a band displaying both "Made in Canada" and size "58G" designations is affixed to the inner collar above a screened on PrimeGreen recycled materials logo while the crests of both the NHL and Adidas have been added over the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the jersey with an Avalanche team crest that features embroidered, textured and three dimensional details throughout its entirety, the all-important 2022 Stanley Cup Finals event patch has been sewn on over the right breast. Accented over both shoulders with matching Avalanche alternate logo crests, Keumper's number "35" has been sewn to the sleeves and verso in dual layer tackle twill numerals while "Kuemper" has been spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse in a gentle arch. Originally auctioned off by Kroenke Sports Charities via the givesmart platform after being received from the team itself, the jersey displays game-wear in the form of puck marks over the front as well as through some frayed/loose threads throughout the interior that has also had an Avalanche team tag sewn inside the reverse hem denoting it as an official "2022 Stanley Cup Finals" specimen. Sent to MeiGray for authentication in July of 2022 and accompanied by their LOA and COR, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #1241513375 (June 24th, 2022 vs Tampa Bay - 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Game 5) to the large puck mark in the team crest. Additionally, printed copies of this image will also be included with the jersey.
