2016-17 Connor McDavid Edmonton Oilers Game-Used & Autographed Alternate Jersey

Connor McDavid’s Historic “Hockey Fights Cancer Night” Jersey

A Night to Remember

On October 26, 2016, the Edmonton Oilers hosted a special event, “Hockey Fights Cancer Night,” where the youngest team captain in NHL history, Connor McDavid, donned a unique alternate jersey. This memorable evening saw McDavid assist twice in a commanding 4-1 victory over the Washington Capitals. These assists were part of his league-leading total of seventy for the season. Adding thirty goals to his tally, McDavid reached an impressive 100 points, earning him the first of two consecutive Art Ross Trophies as the NHL’s leading scorer.

A Season of Triumphs

McDavid’s brilliance on the ice was further recognized with the prestigious Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s Most Valuable Player, and the Ted Lindsay Award, a high honor voted by the NHL Players Association for the league’s most outstanding player. His exceptional performance also led to a historic contract, an eight-year, $100 million extension with the Oilers, marking the richest contract in hockey history.

Jersey Details and Significance

This extraordinary jersey is a testament to McDavid’s remarkable season. Inside, beneath the collar, a Canadian flag tag indicates the size “56,” accompanied by an “Elite Sportswear” flag tag. The rear left tail features a MeiGray tag reading “NHL Game-Worn Jersey 2016-2017 Season N02755,” while the rear right tail bears a tag stating “EDMONTON OILERS 2016/2017 SEASON Oct. 26, 2016 vs. WASHINGTON CAPITALS.”

• Commemorative Patches: The upper right chest displays a “2016 2017 INAUGURAL SEASON” patch, and the upper left chest proudly bears the Captain’s “C” logo in blue on white tackle twill.
• Team and Player Identification: The front showcases the large Oilers team logo crest in blue, white, and orange. The player number “97” appears on both sleeves and the back, crafted in orange on white tackle twill. Across the back, on an orange nameplate, is the player name “McDAVID” in blue on white tackle twill.
• Signature and Authentication: McDavid signed the back of the jersey inside the player number “9” in silver, with the signature rated an 8 in our opinion. The fight strap remains intact, and the v-neck features an official “NHL” logo, with a “Reebok” logo beneath the collar on the back.

This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by an Oilers Letter of Authenticity (LOA), a Photo-Match.com LOA confirming the match, and an ALOA from JSA.
