Founded on December 4th, 1909, the Montreal Canadiens kicked off their inaugural campaign in the newly minted National Hockey Association wearing a simple blue sweater with a simple white “C” over the front. In honour of that season, the 2009-10 edition of Les Canadiens de Montreal suited up on November 21, 2009 wearing an identical replica of that first blue garment for their matchup with the Detroit Red Wings at the Bell Centre. Offered here, we present the Canadiens jersey worn by Tom Pyatt that evening. Made by Reebok, a size “58+” label sits affixed to the inner collar with a handwritten “1” (for set 1) seen above in black marker. Crests for the NHL and Reebok adorn the front and back necklines respectively while the front is decorated with a large dual layer white-over-blue tackle twill “C” below a tie lace neckline. The sleeves and verso have had Pyatt's number “94” sewn to them in single layer white twill numerals with “Pyatt” spelt out in matching style on the affixed matching nameplate. The all-important centennial anniversary patch resides over the right shoulder while a Canadiens game-worn jersey tag is sewn to the interior alongside the fight strap. Worn for just a single game, no obvious signs of game-wear are observed and the jersey remains in overall excellent condition. Sporting a Canadiens hologram affixed to the bottom of the "4" on the reverse, a Canadiens LOA matching the hologram and team tag on the interior will accompany the piece.
Additionally, also included from the game is the helmet worn by Pyatt. A CCM made example with white “C” decals found over each side, stickers displaying Pyatt's number “94” and the NHL shield are found on the reverse, with the NHL shield one coming up on the left side. With its strapping and harness intact and all padding present on the interior, the helmet exhibits light wear via some marks and abrasions throughout.
