Made by ???, size ?, This is a game-worn jersey of the Norwegian National Team.

I got this as a gift from our Norwegian friends at Norhawk

They made a mistake on his name (wrote "SOHISTAD"), so they used a red marker to convert the "O" to a "C"

There are some stick marks and minor pulls.

I highly suspect that the jersey is from the Winter Olympics in Albertville (1992)

I included a photo from the 1992 Olympics...everything matches!

13. 1999(?) UNKNOWN PLAYER #14 SWITZERLAND NATIONAL TEAM

Made by Nike, This size 56 game-worn hockey jersey comes from the Swiss National Team.

I got this on Ebay from a Swiss guy who collects jerseys.

The "Suisse" logo is screened on the crest, which is sewn on. the numbers are all sewn on.

Looking at the right angle, you can notice that the jersey had a nameplate.

The seller initially stated that it was worn by Thomas Ziegler in a WJC in 1998, but my research have concluded that it is impossible.

From my findings, this jersey was used either at the Worlds U20 OR the European U18 in 1999.

Reasons:

- This jersey style was only available after the Nagano Olympics, in Feb. 1998. this meaning that it could be a WC 98, or later.

- The WJC are held during Christmas time, so it would to be during the 1998-1999 holidays.

- The jersey cannot be from the from the World Senior Champ. because there is no sign that it had "Warsteiner" advertising on it.

- the jersey is not from 2000 because there is no "IIHF" patch on the hem AND as of 2000, the Swiss jersey had a black stripe on the hem.

- Now the interesting part: On the IIHF site, the was no #14 that played for Switzerland at the '99WJC' in Winnipeg!

- BUT...(the "but" here is important), the Swiss played some exhibition games prior to the WJC in Kenora, ON...and they had a player wearing #14 (Michael Liniger)

- There is some blood on the back numbers, so it may be a sign that he was injured and therefore did not play in Winnipeg.

- Now the confusing part: Liniger was 5'10" - 178 lbs....a size 56 jersey would be WAY too big for him!

- FYI, there was a #14 at the European U18 tourney, but he was even smaller than Liniger!

2005-11-11 UPDATE: After some additional research as well as advice from other jersey experts, I'm concluding that this IS a game-worn

jersey, mostlikely from the 1999 pre-junior WC's exhibition games in Canada. I'm still trying to find roster in the Kenora newspapers

to confirm this.

14. 2002 TIMO HELBLING #5 SWITZERLAND NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY

Made by Nike, size 56, This is a mostlikely game-worn jersey of the Swiss National Team.

I got this through a trade with a fellow collector (Thanks David!)

Everything is sewn on, including the 'UBS' Patches.

This shirt was prepared to be used at the 2002 IIHF World Championships in Sweden...

Timo was a spare for that competition, but didn't play any games.

However, Timo did play in a few exhibition games prior to the tournament, and has a few blemishes

that shows possible game use. I only need pics of the exhibition games to prove that they wore these

jerseys and not 'special' ones made by the Swiss hockey federation (like they use now for non-IIHF competitions)

All in all a GREAT looking jersey!!!
