A product of Finland's Porin Ässät system at both the junior and senior levels of play, Joel Armia would be drafted 16th overall by the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and has since gone on to play in nearly 500 NHL games in his career thus far for the likes of Buffalo, Winnipeg and Montreal. A gold medalist with his native Finland at the 2022 IIHF World Ice Hockey Championships in his home country of Finland, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Armia 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, 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, a Finnish Ice Hockey Association tag has been sewn over the lower left side on the front. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Armia's number "10" in single layer white tackle twill numerals, a nameplate with "Armia" 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 displays game-wear board burns over both sleeves and a couple of light red coloured paint transfers over the upper portion of the right sleeve as well. Having been photo-matched with an Alamy image of Armia taken during a match against the Czech Republic on May 4th, 2023 to the board burn over his left elbow, a Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA will accompany the piece as well.
