Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/20/2024
A part of the "Hockeytown Winter Festival" that was held in the lead up to the 2014 NHL Winter Classic at the big house between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs, two (2) consecutive alumni games were played between former players of the Red Wings and the Maple Leafs on December 31 with the legends of Hockeytown sweeping the pair of contests by scores of 5-4 and 6-5 with the latter decided by a shootout. Taking part in the second of the two (2) games, offered here is this 2014 Winter Classic Alumni Showdown multi-signed framed photo from the personal collection of former Red Wing, Dino Ciccarelli. A 12" x 18" image taken in the locker room that is double matted under white and red velvet, the photo is housed in a simple black coloured frame that shows some wear to the corners and edges while measuring out to full dimensions of approx. 25" x 19", it is worth noting that a pair of holes have been drilled into either side of the frame for mounting purposes. Signed by five (5) that took part in the festivities, featured autographs include those of Ciccarelli, Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty and Joey Kocur, all the signatures display well despite some light fading from age. Additionally, also included with the framed photo is a Red Wings alumni style jersey of Ciccarelli's. Made by CCM and hailing from their "Team Classics" line of products, a brand label as well as a size "L" tag are affixed to the inner collar of the lightweight tie-neck style garment that is of air-knit material. Decorated over the front with an Old English "D" that is much like the one worn by the Detroit Cougars during the inaugural season of the franchise in 1926-27, matching current Red Wings logos are in place over the shoulders. Having had Ciccarelli's number "22" added to the sleeves and verso in single or dual layer tackle twill numerals, "Ciccarelli" is spelt out in matching style letters that have been sewn down directly to the material at the top of the reverse. Reamaining in excellent condition with no unsightly flaws from wear except for a small pen mark to the inner collar, the jersey was originally displayed in a frame at "Ciccarelli's Premier Sports Club and Eatery" restaurant. Having been removed from the frame, the jersey has some pinholes from its former mounting and the interior hem is lightly sticky as it was held together with mounting tape. Of note, while quite similar to the jerseys worn by the Red Wings alumni teams during the Alumni Showdown games, the jersey does not have an NHL shield over the reverse hem so it is being offered as a souvenir jersey only but it is possible that it was used in the practice(s). An LOA signed by Dino Ciccarelli will accompany the lot.
