Before playing a minute of hockey in the United States, Alexander Ovechkin suited up for Russia in this game-used jersery from the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. Ovi would join the Washington Capitals the following year, playing the first of more than 20 NHL seasons. The rest is history, as "The Great 8" would go on to become the best goal scorer the league had ever seen. With an individually numbered, tamper-evident hologram that can be verified online to certify authenticity, this official gear is perfect for enthusiastic fans and dedicated collectors who want a piece of undeniable history.
