An Iconic Piece of Hockey History

On Halloween night, October 31, 2002, the ice rink bore witness to a thrilling encounter between the Colorado Avalanche and the Vancouver Canucks. Among the players, the legendary goaltender Patrick Roy stood out, donning a sweater that would become a cherished piece of hockey memorabilia. This sweater, photomatched to that very game, is a testament to Roy’s illustrious career and his indelible mark on the sport.

Patrick Roy: A Goaltending Legend

Patrick Roy’s career is a tapestry of remarkable achievements and accolades. He led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup victories, solidifying his status as one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history. In 2004, a panel of 41 writers, along with a fan poll, crowned him the greatest goaltender of all time. His legacy was further cemented when he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 13, 2006. Roy’s unique distinction of winning the Conn Smythe Trophy three times, each in a different decade, underscores his unparalleled prowess and enduring influence in the NHL.
