A veteran of 820 National Hockey League games throughout the course of his 18-year career in the league, Sean Burke would register a total of 324 wins in the NHL and suit up for Canada on numerous occasions as well, winning gold at the 1991 Canada Cup, 1997 and 2003 IIHF World Championships as well as silver at the 1992 Olympic Winter Games. Winning his first Stanley Cup in 2023 as the Director of Goaltending of the Vegas Golden Knights, offered here is this Coyotes jersey worn by Burke during the 2003-04 season, the first year this style was worn by the Coyotes. Made by CCM and sporting both "Goalie Style" and size "60" labels affixed to the inner collar, a CCM logo patch graces the reverse necklines while the NHL shield has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Coyotes team crest that features both textured and embroidered details throughout, an alternate logo patch has been added atop of the right shoulder as well. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Burke's number "1" in single layer red tackle twill numerals, "Burke" has been spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Retaining its original fight strap on the interior, a team tag denoting the jersey as being an "Official 2003/04-1 Game Worn Jersey" is sewn inside the reverse hem and it is worth noting that the jersey displays with a very light pink hue in areas from having been washed incorrectly. Accompanied by a Coyotes LOA and displaying excellent game-wear, puck marks are observed over the front and both sleeves while spots of red post paint transfer exist over the areas of both elbows and the lower reverse. Also sporting a bit of light pilling around the collar, behind the crest has been marked with "03-04 - Set 1 - Ex- Dec 23/03 - #1" in black marker ink. Regarding the photo-match, the jersey has been matched with Getty Image #2777894 (December 2nd, 2003 vs New Jersey) to the various puck marks over the front and left sleeve.
