The PHF-MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program is proud to offer fans and collectors across the globe the opportunity to own a piece of history ... the jersey worn by #17 Taylor Girard of the Connecticut Whale during the 2022- 2023 Premier Hockey Federation season.
Taylor Girard wore this Green Set 1 jersey while playing with the Connecticut Whale during the 2022-23 Premier Hockey Federation season from November 5, 2022 through December 18, 2022.
Girard was wearing this jersey when she scored an unassisted shorthanded goal against the Metropolitan Riveters on December 17, 2022 at the International Skating Center of CT in Simmsbury, CT. The goal came only 1:24 into the first period, cracking the ice for both teams. In a single-handed effort, Girard knocked away a D-to-D pass from Metropolitan's power play and chased the puck into the offensive zone. Without a teammate on the other side, she opted to shoot fivehole and scored her second shorthanded goal of the season.
Girard was also wearing this jersey the next day, on December 18, when she scored her 30th professional point and tallied three primary assists against the Boston Pride, again at home in Simmsbury. Girard's first point in the game was her fifth of the season and came at 2:40 of the first period on a goal by Kennedy Marchment. Just over five minutes later, at 7:49 of the first, she scored the thirtieth point of her PHF career on a goal from Caitrin Lonergan. At 19:04 of the third, she recorded her third primary assist of the game on Marchment's second goal of the afternoon, an insurance marker into the empty net.
Girard impressed in her sophomore season, shining on special teams while scoring 10 goals and 18 assists. Four of her goals came shorthanded, setting a new PHF record. Girard earned a selection to the PHF All-Star Game for the second consecutive season. In the playoffs, she led the Whale with three goals and one assist in four games as the team fell in the semifinal series to the Toronto Six.
The top selection in the 2021 NWHL Draft, Girard immediately made waves at the professional level, earning the title of Newcomer of the Year after tying for third in league scoring. She earned selection to the PHF All-Star Game in 2022 and 2023. After only two seasons in the league, Girard finishes as the second most prolific scorer in Connecticut Whale history, with 21 goals and 31 assists in 44 games.
This jersey is a size LG and is registered into the PHF-MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program as number MGG003761.
MGG also works with the ECHL, USA Hockey, and six National Hockey League clubs: Columbus Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, Seattle Kraken and Washington Capitals.
