A product of the United States National Team Development Program, where he set a program record with 189 points in two (2) seasons that has since been eclipsed, Clayton Keller would then go on to play a year in the NCAA with the Terriers of Boston University, where he was named the Hockey East Rookie of the Year and won the Tim Taylor Award for the top NCAA Division I rookie. The 7th overall pick of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, Keller had played his entire NHL career with the Coyotes, and followed the club during their relocation to Utah for the 2024-25 season, being named their first team captain in franchise history. Offered here, we present this Coyotes jersey worn by Keller during his rookie season of 2017-18 which was then reused during the 2018-19 pre-season/training camp as well. Made by Adidas, a band displaying size "52" and "Made in Canada" designations is affixed to the inner collar above a heat-pressed on Coyotes team inventory barcode. Of note, the jersey is listed as being only from the 2018-19 pre-season/training camp on both the inventory barcode and behind the front crest by team equipment managers but the jersey has been conclusively photo-matched to both seasons listed. Sporting both NHL and Adidas crests over the front and reverse necklines respectively, the front of the jersey is decorated with a Coyotes team crest that features both textured and embroidered details throughout while matching alternate logo crests appear over both shoulders. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Keller's number "9" in dual layer tackle twill numerals, "Keller" has been spelt out in single layer maroon twill letters that have been sewn directly to the material of the jersey at the top of the reverse. Retaining its fight strap on the interior and sporting good game-wear, stick marks are observed throughout the front, reverse and both sleeves while both sleeves also sport patched team repairs and board burns. Regarding the photo-matches, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #1047343216 (September 29th, 2018 vs Vancouver - 2018 NHL Pre-Season/Training Camp) to stick marks near the left cuff and board burn near the bottom of the maroon stripe above the left elbow while Getty Image #942489664 (April 5th, 2018 vs Vancouver - 2017-18 NHL Regular Season) has been matched to the same stick marks and board burn mentioned above. An LOA from Detroit Hockey Company will accompany the piece.
