This jersey was autographed by Fratkin after it was worn.

This Red jersey, a Size 48, is registered into the MeiGray Group Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program as number MGG010230. Each jersey has the player's native country flag on the left sleeve.
The NWHL-MGG Auction season is kicking off with one complete set of game-worn jerseys from each of the four clubs, worn exclusively during the 2016-17 NWHL preseason.
The Riveters signed the league's first player, Austrian forward Janine Weber, and finished fourth in the NWHL during its inaugural season. The Riveters held the first overall pick for the second time in 2016. After selecting 2014 Sochi medalist Alexandra Carpenter (U.S.A.) first overall in 2015, they selected Princeton University's high-scoring blueliner Kelsey Koelzer. They also signed Amanda Kessel, sister of Pittsburgh Penguins winger Phil Kessel, to a one-year, $26,000 contract on May 1, 2016.
