2024-25 Valeri Nichushkin Alternate Set (KSC/Avalanche)

This is Val "Choo Choo" Nichushkin's game worn alternate sweater from the 2024-25 season. The Avalanche only wore one set of these alternate 3rd sweaters for the entire season. The sweater exhibits solid wear with three team repairs, a mark on the rest of the sweater which has been photo matched and heavy pilling in the rear hem.  The sweater also has the new IMA Financial Services patch advertisement which was new for the 2024-25 season.. 

This was the first time that the Avalanche/KSC didn't have an auction for game worn sweaters all season. The alternate sweater set were the first to be auctioned in late May 2025.  So these new "Fanatics" branded sweaters were eagerly anticipated.  Choo Choo wore this sweater in 7 rivalry games and he scored 2 goals and 1 assist for 3 points.  Very happy to add another Big Val sweater to my collection and as always, Go Avs Go! 

The new IMA Financial Services advertisement patch adorns the right chest of the sweater.  2024-25 is the first season that the Colorado Avalanche placed advertisement patches on their game worn sweaters.

Team repairs, three in total are evident on the shoulder of the jersey and the lower sleeve/cuff.

2024-25 Set Tag adorns the left kidney area of the back of the sweater. Fairly over sized set tags. Much larger than usual.

2013-14 Paul Stastny Set 1 Road (MeiGray)

This is Paul Stastny's Set 1 road gamer from the 2013-14 Season.  Stastny wore this sweater for 18 road games to begin the year scoring 5 goals and 4 assists!  The jersey exhibits fantastic use and wear with heaving pilling, multiple team repairs on both sleeves and a huge black stick mark on the crest which has been photomatched to multiple road games.  I used to own a Stastny 3rd alternate in my collection that I sold to fellow Avs' collector and friend Jacob Dubin and have always regretted it..  I really liked Stastny and am very happy to have added another oner of his sweaters to my collection.  Paul Stastny scored 293 goals in his career and had 822 points.

2020-21 Logan O'Connor Set 2 Home (KSC/Avalanche)

This is Logan O'Connor's Set 2 home sweater from the 2020-21 COVID shortened season.  It was very hard to determine how many games this sweater was actually worn by LOC but I was able to match the jersey to a game on 3/29/21 vs Anaheim Ducks at Ball Arena.  The jersey is fairly pristine overall but displays inner pilling on the lower hem and in the sleeves..  It seems as though it was only worn in maybe three games towards the end of the season but I am not sure. LOC registered 1 assist in the game vs the Ducks on 3/29/21.  I am very happy to have added an earlier gamer of O'Connor, a SC Champion with Colorado to my collection.
