Playing his junior hockey with the Burlington Cougars of the OPJHL before playing four (4) years with the Bowling Green State University Falcons, Kevin Bieksa would be drafted 151st overall by the Vancouver Canucks at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft and go on to play 808 National Hockey League games over the course of his career with both Vancouver and the Anaheim Ducks. Recently named the "Best Sports Analyst" in Canada at the Canadian Screen Awards, offered here is this Canucks jersey worn by Bieksa during the lockout shortened 2012-13 season of play. Made by Reebok and sporting a lone size "56" label affixed to the inner collar, the front and reverse necklines have been accented with the logo patches of the NHL shield and Reebok respectively while the front of the jersey has been decorated with a Canucks team crest that displays with embroidered and textured details while "Vancouver" is spelt out above it in single layer white twill letters that have been sewn on in a gentle arch. Featuring Canucks vintage style "stick-in-rink" alternate logo patches over both shoulders, the sleeves and verso have been accented with Bieksa's number "3" in single layer white tackle twill numerals. Having had "Bieksa" spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse, the jersey displays game-wear in the form of team repairs over the lower reverse and left sleeve as well as through board burns over both sleeves and left shoulder plus a stick mark on the lower reverse. Also showing staining over the lower front, a few fabric snags throughout and pilling on the interior, a Canucks barcode numbered "1213100028", matching what is seen on the accompanying Canucks COA, has been heat pressed above the fight strap. Of note, a couple have stitches at the top of the nameplate on the reverse have come loose.
Regarding the photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #164685994 (March 14th, 2013 vs Nashville) to the team repair in the green stripe of the left sleeve.
