Henrik Lundqvist / SWEDEN World Championship 2008 100 Year Anniversary Throwback
The Lundqvist jersey was indeed proven to have been worn in the pre game skate and in the team photo. Henrik's NYR were eliminated from the playoffs early and he was able to join Team Sweden. He arrived early in the morning the day of the game against Canada,where Sweden was to wear the throwback jerseys. However as per IIHF rules Sweden had not named Lundqvist for the game sheet that night as they were not sure if he could make the trip to Quebec City in time. He did arrive in the morning of the game and participated in the morning skate,and team photo. As this was the 100th Anniversary of the IIHF the throwback jerseys were worn in non game action such as morning skates,and all that to get as much publicity for the jerseys as well as the 100th IIHF anniversary. This jersey is more than team issued,Hank did indeed put this jersey on his back and indeed participated in the pre game skate and team photo in these jerseys, The jersey was sold with this description and provenance to the buyer.
