The King of Game Worn Jersey Sites

So, it's Valentine's Day and if you have about two or three thousand dollars handy you can pick up your significant other the gift of a lifetime. Cause, god knows, nothing says "you're the one I love" more than a game worn hockey jersey. (For some people anyways. My wife not being one of them.) But, you say, where would I find a great selection of game worn jerseys that span decades of NHL action? Well, you're in luck, I know exactly where you can empty your bank account on such an item...

MeiGray.com is absolutely amazing. It is the site of the MeiGray Group and "your source for game-worn jerseys". They are also the official partners of nhlgameworn.com, the NHL's official game-worn store which has hundreds of jerseys from recent seasons.

On the site you will find not just hockey jerseys but also baseball, football and basketball jerseys. Hockey is, however, the focus. And not just the NHL, they also feature a large number of college, minor league, national and international jerseys. Most specifically the ECHL and the AHL. If that isn't enough they've got WHA jerseys from 7 different teams (including the Nordiques, Jets and Whalers) and All-Star jerseys. There is also a section with vintage NHL jerseys going back decades for some teams. (Be prepared to unload some serious cash on these. A Ted Kennedy 1950 All-Star jersey will run you a hefty $22,500.)

Besides jerseys they also sell other odds and ends of memorabilia such as sticks and skates, or how about Bobby Hull's WHA Winnipeg Jets equipment bag? No photo unfortunately but it's only $2,500 and would make an excellent addition to anybody's equipment bag collection.

Alas, for some of us the price tags are a little high, but it's a treat just to see images of some of these pieces of history. However, if my wife is reading this (and has received a bank error in her favor) I would like the 1993 Quebec Nordiques Mike Ricci jersey with Stanley Cup 100th Anniversary patch and the Assistant Captain "A". Color blue.

The image featured is a Andre Gaudette WHA Nordiques jersey from the 1973-74 season. Price tag: $2,250
