Patrick Roy’s 2002 Game-Worn Avalanche Sweater: A Legendary Artifact

An Iconic Moment in Hockey History

On Halloween night, October 31, 2002, the ice was electrified as the Colorado Avalanche faced off against the Vancouver Canucks. This game was not just another date on the NHL calendar; it was a showcase of the legendary Patrick Roy, a goaltender whose name is synonymous with excellence. Roy, who won two Stanley Cups with the Avalanche, was celebrated as the greatest goaltender in NHL history by a panel of 41 writers and a fan poll. His induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 13, 2006, further cemented his legacy.

The Sweater’s Unique Features

This remarkable sweater, photomatched to that memorable game, is a testament to Roy’s storied career. The garment is adorned with the Avalanche’s large “A” logo crest on the front, while the player number “33” graces the back and both sleeves in a striking combination of white on blue on silver sparkle tackle twill. The name “ROY” is emblazoned on the back in white tackle twill on a burgundy nameplate, a signature of his presence on the ice.

A Legacy Beyond the Ice

Patrick Roy’s influence extends beyond his playing days. His career is a testament to resilience and unparalleled skill, making this sweater not just a piece of fabric but a fragment of hockey history. The sweater features a large “AIR-KNIT” flag tag with wash instructions on the left inseam, and inside the rear collar are two large flag tags, one with “Goalie Style” and the other with size “58”. The Meigray label with “NHL Game-Worn 2002-2003 Season A01243” is on the inner tail, and the official “NHL” embroidered logo is on the outer rear right tail.
