NHL players finally got their chance to represent their respective countries on the Olympic stage when National Hockey League professionals were deemed eligible for the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan when a deal was reached between the International Olympic Committee, IIHF, NHL, and NHLPA. Featuring names like Gretzky, Brodeur, Yzerman, Lindros, and Bourque, the Team Canada lineup was impressive to say the least. Presented here is the white-coloured jersey style that Wayne Gretzky would wear in his only appearance at the Winter Olympics in 1998. Made by Bauer, the company’s Bauer pro labeling with a size “56” designation is found affixed to the collar as well as the original retail tags. A Bauer logo patch is featured on the reverse neckline. Featuring the patriotic Team Canada crest on the chest as well as over both shoulders, the reverse and sleeve’s feature “99” sewn in layered tackle twill with “Gretzky” layered across the affixed red twill nameplate in single layer white twill letters. Remaining in beautiful new-with-tags condition and featuring pro on-ice style elements such as a fight strap and reinforced elbows, Wayne has graciously signed the second reverse “9” with a black marker ink signature that displays with light bleeding and fading from age. A Shawn Chaulk LOA will accompany the piece.
