ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
On October 9th, 2002 the Phoenix Coyotes traveled to Los Angeles to take on
the Kings at the Staples Center. In an elaborate pre-game ceremony, the Los
Angeles Kings organization formally retired Wayne Gretzky's jersey paying
tribute to the career of the man who single-handedly raised the prominence
of the game across the United States. Appropriately, each member of both
teams on the ice this evening proudly displayed a special commemorative
Wayne Gretzky "99 - October 9th, 2002" crest on the chest of their game
jersey for this one time only. This complete set of twenty-four black road
Phoenix Coyotes Koho uniforms, worn from the start of the season though to
the historic game on October 9th, was not worn again by any member of the
squad. The team's top goal scorers are here: Mike Johnson, Shane Doan,
Ladislav Nagy, Daymond Langkow, Daniel Briere and the fan favorite Tony
Amonte. You will also receive sweaters worn by: Kelly Buchberger, Brad May,
Claude Lemieux, Teppo Numminen, Branko Radivojevic, Brian Savage, Landon
Wilson, Danil Markov, Andrei Nazarov, Ossi Vaananen, Paul Mara, Todd
Simpson, Radoslav Suchy, Krys Kolanos, Dan Focht and Jason Jaspers. The
uniforms of netminders Sean Burke and Brian Boucher round out the
collection. Each jersey will come with a detailed Letter of Authenticity on
Phoenix Coyotes Letterhead signed by General Manager Michael Barnett.
