Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jeff Beukeboom wore this Nike mesh jersey during the 1987-88 NHL season, including the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals. The jersey is video-matched to the Oilers' 6-3 victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 3 on May 22, 1988 at Boston Garden in Boston, MA. The jersey exhibits multiple team repairs, black marks and paint transfer. Rust shows in the fight strap. Both sleeves have been shortened. The video-match is to game footage. The photo-match is to a printed photo of Beukeboom posing with the Stanley Cup after the Oilers' fourth Cup in five seasons, Beukeboom's second Cup. The photo and video capture, both of which are matched to a stick mark on the top white stripe of the lower torso, will be included. The 19th overall pick in the first round of the 1983 NHL Draft was one of the most renowned stay-at-home defensemen of his era. His physical style saw him rack up 1,890 PIMs in 804 games played. Despite his tenacious on-ice play, Beukeboom was known for his philanthropy off the ice, including working with Ice Hockey in Harlem during his time with the Rangers. This jersey, originally from the Wexler Collection, is accompanied by an LOA on Oilers letterhead with MeiGray registration. The 8x10 photo of Beukeboom holding the Cup will also accompany this jersey.
