TXHT Jersey Share – Toronto St. Pats

Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look at a throwback for the Toronto Maple Leafs from the 1922-25 season when they were known as the Toronto St. Pats.

Dickson: When the Maple Leafs made the announcement that they would wear this jersey back in February 2017, I knew I had to pick this up. Unless I know that there is a specific reason for me to get a player jersey, I get the replica jerseys with no name on the back. This jersey is a very cool jersey to have and the Maple Leafs brought this back on the adiZero template this past season for two games.

TXHT Jersey Share – Hockey Fights Cancer

Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look at the Hockey Fights Cancer jersey for the Washington Capitals from Dickson’s collection.

Dickson: This jersey is very special to me, as it is not only one of my favourites, but also my paternal grandfather had passed away from cancer back in 2005.

This jersey in particular was a must have and everywhere I went to get one, they were all sold out in my size. That was until I went to a Capitals game and was browsing one of small team store kiosks and I found it. There was no question at all that I was picking this up. Anytime I know I am going to a Capitals game, especially during the Hockey Fights Cancer month, I wear this jersey.

TXHT Jersey Share – Game Worn in Double OT at MSG

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at this very special jersey that was worn by Washington Capitals defenseman John Erskine when they defeated the New York Rangers in double overtime in Madison Square Garden.

So the story behind this one is awesome. I had received the first ever bonus in my life and it was enough to get a game worn jersey from Meigray. I knew I wanted a John Erskine jersey and they were three available. Both the home and road regular season jerseys, and by luck the road jersey worn in Game 4 against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden that the Capitals won in double overtime. Well with three solid options I didn’t know which one to go with so I went to Twitter and asked the man himself and let John Erskine decide which jersey I should get.

Erskine made it known that it was an obvious choice. The Playoff jersey! It was a no brainer. So I ordered the jersey and I brought it to a Capitals practice and presented it to Erskine to sign and the exchange about it was hilarious, but awesome.

Me – Hey Ersk, can you sign this please?

Erskine – Is this the one I said to get on Twitter?

Me – Yes sir. *proud smile on my face*

Erskine – *signs the jersey* Cool.

Damn right it was cool.

Also a cool little tidbit here:

@MikeXtremist I'd go for last seasons jersey. String is for front tie down.

TXHT Jersey Share – Caps Clinic

Today on the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look back at this really cool jersey that was worn for the 2012 Capitals Clinic which was won at a Caps Care Auction by my friends Mark Whiting and John Stortz.

So first off I want to start by expressing my gratitude to both Mark and John for allowing me to be a part of this, and all of the great memories that have come from it. Being able to be on the ice with defenseman Dennis Wideman, forwards Mathieu Perreault and Marcus Johansson, goaltender Michal Neuvirth, and assistant coach Jim Johnson and learning from them, and being able to work on my game was just an amazing moment.

Top two moments overall were getting tripped by Perreault in board battle drills, and then working on net front battles as both a defenseman and forward with Johansson. Being able to work with Neuvirth, Johnson, and Wideman was really cool too, but I took the most from Johansson and Perreault as those are two big parts to my game as a player.

Today on the NWHL we had four more signings announced for the 2019-20 season.

Starting off with the Metropolitan Riveters who would sign defensive forward Brooke Baker.

Baker, an RIT graduate, played in 123 games for RIT during her four year collegiate career. This will be Baker’s first season in the NWHL and with the Riveters.

However, the Riveters would not be done there as they would re-sign defender Lexi Slattery for the 2019-20 season.

Slattery appeared in seven games for the Riveters last season and will be entering her second season with the team.

Then the Minnesota Whitecaps announced that they have re-signed captain Winny Brodt Brown for the 2019-20 season.

Brown, who will be entering her second NWHL season with the Whitecaps, is an original member of the Whitecaps and a pioneer for women’s hockey. Brown played in 16 games for the Whitecaps last season on their road to the Isobel Cup.

Also the Buffalo Beauts would get in the mix as they signed forward Kandice Sheriff to a one year deal.

Sheriff, a Brampton, Ontario native, played in 98 games for RIT, and utilizes her speed, strength, and ability on special teams which makes her stand out. This will be Sheriff’s first season in the NWHL and with the Beauts.

All players will partake in the 50 percent cut of revenue from league sponsorship and media deals. Plus they will also receive 15 percent of revenue from apparel sold with their name on it.

TXHT Jersey Share – Winter Classic Knockout King

Today on TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at the jersey we never thought would ever be shipped by the NHL Shop, the Washington Capitals 2011 Winter Classic John Erskine jersey.

So as previously talked about two entries earlier, this is the jersey I originally ordered through the NHL Shop that took FOREVER to ship, to the point that I went and bought another jersey from my local Modell’s only to then have it shipped to me. This is why I order through Cool Hockey only now for jerseys.

For this jersey I really wanted Erskine because he was, and still is, one of my favorite Capitals players, and at the Winter Classic had one of the greatest moments when he fought Pittsburgh Penguins forward Michael Rupp. I also have a photo of Erskine fighting Rupp on my wall autographed by Erskine.

TXHT Jersey Share – Bonzai!!

Today on TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at a Washington Capitals retro red jersey customized to Capitals Legend Peter Bondra.

So I actually haven’t touched base on this jersey outside of the Capitals alternate jersey, but this jersey is what the Capitals wore from when they entered the league in 1974 all the way up to 1995. This is the only one I have from the NHL Vintage Series, and when I had the opportunity to I had is customized to my favorite player of all time Peter Bondra.

Bondra is someone I tried to emulate my game after in ice hockey, except I didn’t exactly have the skill set like Bondra to pull it off. *laughs*

One of my most fundest memories of seeing Bondra play live was the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at the old Capital Centre then known as US Air Arena when he would score 5 goals against the Lightning. Bondra also shot a puck over the boards during pregame warmups and I got the puck. Still have it to this day in safe keeping.
