A product of TPS in his native Finland, Lauri Korpikoski would be drafted 19th overall by the New York Rangers at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and would go on to play a total of 609 games during his National Hockey League career, donning the uniforms of New York, Arizona, Edmonton, Dallas and Columbus over that time. Also having represented his country on numerous occasions during his career, including at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games in Russia where he would win a bronze medal, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Korpikoski on September 18th, 2016 in the first (1st) period against Team North America at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. Made by Adidas, a band displaying both "Made in Canada" and size "56" designations is affixed to the inner collar while both World Cup of Hockey and Adidas crests adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the jersey with "Suomi" in single layer blue tackle twill letters that have been individually sewn on, a Finland Coat of Arms crest is sewn on over the left breast and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey event patch sits over the left shoulder. Also sporting an SAP sponsorship patch atop the right shoulder, the sleeves and verso have been styled with Korpikoski's number "28" in ventilated single layer white tackle twill numerals while "Korpikoski" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Having had a Fanatics Game Worn tag sewn on inside the reverse hem and marked over the fight strap with a "2" in black marker ink to denote it as being a set #2 example, the jersey shows game-wear via some board burns over the right elbow, sweat staining around the collar and pills/fabric snags over both the interior and exterior. A Fanatics verification slip listing the details of when the jersey was worn will accompany the piece, which has had a Fanatics hologram numbered "AA0001244" affixed to it also.
