A product of Finland's KalPa system at both the junior and senior levels of play, Kasperi Kapanen would hear his name called 22nd overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and has since gone on to play in nearly 450 National Hockey League games with the likes of Pittsburgh, Toronto and St. Louis. A gold medalist with Finland at the 2016 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Kapanen during the 2022-23 Euro Hockey Tour. Made by Warrior, brand labeling along with a size "XXL" fly tag is affixed to the inner collar while Warrior logos have been sublimated into the material of the front and reverse necklines. Decorated over the front of the faux tie-neck garment with a Team Finland crest that features embroidered details throughout its entirety, various sponsorship logos have been sublimated into the material of the jersey at the shoulders, collar bones, lower front, down the sleeves and lower plus upper reverses, a Finnish Ice Hockey Association tag has been sewn over the lower left side on the front. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Kapanen's number "42" in single layer white tackle twill numerals, a nameplate with "Kapanen" spelt out across it in heat-pressed on white twill letters is affixed to the top of the reverse. Featuring a fight strap on the interior as well as a team tag denoting the piece as a "Official Game Worn Jersey of Team Finland 2022-23", the jersey displays good game-wear in the form of board burns and unrepaired holes over both sleeves as well as additional burns over both shoulders. A Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA will accompany the piece.
