The follow-up to the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, the 2004 edition featured 8 teams in 2 pools, with the Canadians, Russians, Americans and Slovakia in the North American pool, while Finland, Sweden, Germany and the Czech Republic were featured in the European pool. Matches were played in 6 of the 8 competing nations, with Canada defeating Finland in the final 3-2. This Team Finland captain’s jersey was worn by Saku Koivu in the Sept 2nd contest against Germany, and it’s been photo-matched. Size “56” tagging from Nike is present along the collar along with an IIHF label, with an additional IIHF crest along the back bottom hem. Featuring a partially embroidered Finnish shield team crest with “Suomi” beneath in single-twill, the solid white garment has been embellished with double-twill numbers, with the back letters heat-pressed directly onto the nameplate. The important 2004 World Cup of Hockey patch resides over the left breast, with a Nike swoosh embroidered over the right. There is also a Nike inventory bar code numbered 45141 that sits inverted on the inside hem. Game-wear consists of a large stick mark on the lower front, along with additional marks over the left sleeve. There is also a heavy burn with resulting hole to the right of the team crest, with some light staining directly beneath the collar. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-match, Getty image #51257138 from the aforementioned Sept 2nd game has been matched to the big black mark across "Suomi" on the lower front, and to the black mark/cut near the team crest. The Finns would shutout the Germans in the Sept 2nd match 3-0. An LOA from the NHLPA will accompany.
