Playing his junior hockey with JYP in his native Finland before coming over to North America for a pair of seasons with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, Olli Maatta would be drafted 22nd overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and go on to help Pittsburgh to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017. Also having suited up in the National Hockey League for the Los Angeles Kings and Detroit Red Wings, Maatta would help his native Finland to a bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Offered here, we present this Team Finland jersey worn by Matt during the 2022-23 Euro Hockey Tour. Made by Warrior, brand labeling along with a size "XXL" fly tag is affixed to the inner collar while Warrior logos have been sublimated into the material of the front and reverse necklines. Decorated over the front of the faux tie-neck garment with a Team Finland crest that features embroidered details throughout its entirety, the distinguished alternate captain's "A" has been added over the left breast while various sponsorship logos have been sublimated into the material of the jersey at the shoulders, collar bones, lower front, down the sleeves and lower plus upper reverses. Having had a Finnish Ice Hockey Association tag been sewn over the lower left side on the front, the jersey is styled over the sleeves and verso with Maatta's number "3" in single layer white tackle twill numerals while a nameplate with "Maatta" spelt out across it in heat-pressed on white twill letters is affixed to the top of the reverse. Featuring a fight strap on the interior as well as a team tag denoting the piece as a "Official Game Worn Jersey of Team Finland 2022-23", the jersey exhibits game-wear via a few board burns scattered over both sleeves. A Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA will accompany the piece.
