ITALY
This beautiful and rare team Italy ice hockey national team game worn jersey was used by goaltender Andreas Bernard in 2013 Division I World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Italy gained 2nd place in the tournament and promotion to 2014 World Championships in Minsk, Belarus.
Bernard used this jersey in pre game warm ups in games against Japan (W 4-1) and Great Britain (W 5-1). He wore this jersey as a starting goaltender in their last game against Kazakhstan (L 0-3) when Italy had already secured their promotion. The game was Bernard's first as a starting goaltender in senior national team in World Championships.
Bernard has played in Finland since 2009-10 season in SaiPa Lappeenranta U20-team. Season 2012-13 he played in Finnish 2nd tier in Jukurit Mikkeli and he lead his team to battle for promotion to SM-liiga. He got a contract with SaiPa for SM-Liiga season 2013-14.
Reason for including also his first name in the nameplate is that his brother Anton played also in the tournament and he also had his first name in the nameplate.
All numberings and crests are sublimated. The nameplate is sewn with individual letters sublimated. The jersey is made by Tackla.
The jersey was obtained from Mr. Bernard himself.
