Welcome to USA Hockey-MeiGray Group's 2019 International Ice Hockey Federation Men’s World Championship Team USA Jersey Auction.
The 2019 IIHF Men’s World Championship was held in Bratislave and Kosice, Slovakia from May 10, 2019 through May 26, 2019. The U.S. Men’s World Championship Team played its games at Steel Arena in Kosice, Slovakia and Ondrej Nepala Arena in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The U.S. Men’s World Championship team finished seventh of 16 teams in the 83rd edition of the IIHF Men's World Championship.
After losing its first preliminary round game to host Slovakia, the U.S. rolled off five straight wins. Its final preliminary round game against Canada had significant meaning as with a victory, the U.S. would earn the U.S. the top spot in Group A and with a loss Team USA would finish fourth and have a much more difficult path in the quarterfinals. Ultimately, Canada came out on top and the U.S. moved to Bratislava to face Russia in the quarterfinals. The Russians built a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes and despite a significant push, the U.S. suffered a 4-3 defeat.
The USA Hockey-MeiGray Group Game-Worn Authentication Program is proud to offer fans and collectors across the globe the opportunity to own a piece of history... the one set of blue jerseys worn during the tournament.
There was one set of blue, and one set of white jerseys manufactured by Nike and prepared for use by the U.S. National Men's Team in the 2019 IIHF Men’s World Championship. Each jersey was bar-coded before the tournament. The sets of jerseys were collected after each game by Team USA's equipment staff. Each jersey offered in auction has been security-tagged with an individually serial-numbered USA Hockey-MeiGray Authentication Program inventory tag.
The U.S. Men’s World Championship Team wore the set of blue jerseys in four games, and the set of white jerseys in four games. The players were given the set of white jerseys.
