2008 Jonathan Toews Team Canada Game-Used IIHF World Championship Jersey

Jonathan Toews’ 2008 Team Canada Jersey: A Piece of Hockey History

A Rising Star in the NHL

Jonathan Toews, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of hockey, was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the 2006 NHL Draft. His remarkable skills and leadership qualities quickly became evident, leading to his appointment as the team captain following his successful rookie campaign. At the tender age of 20 years and 79 days, Toews became the third-youngest team captain in NHL history, a testament to his exceptional talent and maturity.

Representing Canada on the World Stage

Beyond his NHL achievements, Toews has proudly represented his home country, Canada, on numerous occasions. One such moment was during the 2008 IIHF World Championships, where he donned this iconic jersey on May 8th, 2008, in a thrilling 2-1 victory against Norway. This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a symbol of national pride and sporting excellence.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, featuring:

• A size “62” stamp in the neck and an “AUTHENTIC COLLECTION IIHF” tag below.
• A Nike tag printed inside the rear left tail.
• The large “CANADA” team logo crest prominently displayed across the chest.
• “Zepter International” advertisement logos and a Team Canada logo patch on both sleeves.
• The player number “16” in white on black tackle twill on the sleeves and in red on black tackle twill on the back.
• The player name “TOEWS” in white on a red nameplate across the back.
• The “IIHF 100 1908-2008” patch on the rear right tail.
