A product of TPS in his native country of Finland who would be drafted 2nd overall by the New York Rangers at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Kaapo Kakko, currently skating for the Seattle Kraken, has helped his country to gold medal glory on more than one (1) occasion, including at both the 2019 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship and 2019 IIHF World Championship. Offered here, we present this helmet worn by Kakko while playing for Team Finland at the 2019 IIHF World Championship when he recorded seven (7) points in ten (10) games played. A Warrior Alpha One Pro model bucket in Finland's navy blue colour and having had a Warrior branded visor affixed to the front of it, the helmet retains all its padding on the interior as well as its complete strapping harness also. Having had a Finnair sponsorship decal added over the front of the piece, white number "24" stickers have been placed over the top of the forehead as well as the lower reverse while Suomi and Finland flag stickers appear over the lower reverse also. Displaying good use through numerous scratches throughout the surface which also includes some minor cuts in areas as well, the helmet has been photo-matched with Getty Image #1151853404 (May 26th, 2019 vs Canada - 2019 IIHF World Championship - Gold Medal Game) to some scratches seen over the left side, the one cut seen over the left side and to the wear in the "Warrior" decal over the left side also.
