Wayne Gretzky Autographed 1987 Canada Cup Team Canada #99 CCM Throwback Jersey– Global Authentics & SportsMemorabilia.com
Exceptional Wayne Gretzky autographed 1987 Canada Cup Team Canada CCM throwback hockey jersey, recreating one of the most recognizable uniforms from one of the greatest international hockey tournaments ever played.
The striking red-and-white CCM jersey features the oversized vintage Team Canada maple leaf crest across the front, the Labatt Canada Cup patch, and the captain’s “C” prominently displayed on the upper chest. The reverse features “GRETZKY” across the shoulders with his legendary #99 in large sewn numerals.
Wayne Gretzky has personally autographed the back #99 in black Sharpie, creating a terrific contrast against the white numeral and an outstanding presentation for display.
The significance of this jersey design goes far beyond its appearance. Gretzky served as Captain of Team Canada during the 1987 Canada Cup, leading an extraordinary roster of NHL superstars. Gretzky dominated the tournament, recording 3 goals and 18 assists for 21 points in only nine games, leading all players in scoring and earning Tournament MVP honors.
The tournament culminated in the legendary three-game championship series between Canada and the Soviet Union. After splitting the first two games—each decided 6–5—the teams met for the deciding Game 3 on September 15, 1987. With only 1:26 remaining, Gretzky carried the puck into the Soviet zone and delivered the famous pass to Mario Lemieux, who scored the championship-winning goal to give Canada another dramatic 6–5 victory and the Canada Cup championship. The Gretzky-to-Lemieux goal remains one of the defining moments in Canadian hockey history.
