First of all, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit my website over the past six months or so. I have really enjoyed putting it together. I have not only been able to share my collection with other hockey fans, but also meet some collectors and make some trades to further my collection in the process.
The Gophers made a deep run into the NCAA Tournament this Spring, coming just one win short of adding a 6th National Championship. Even with the disappointing loss to Union in the final game, it was still a fun run.
Since we are in the depths of the off-season, I took some time this afternoon and updated my website. The first addition was a section for my Gopher Basketball jerseys. To me, the highlights are a Sam Jacobson jersey and a Miles Tarver warmup.
The second additions are a pair of jerseys. The first is a Jeff Frazee Team USA jersey. This was worn in the 2006 World Junior Championships which are usually held when the college teams are off for Christmas break. This is a Nike Swift jersey with screened on lettering. The back has a mesh material that I have been told wasn't on the regular jerseys. I can only speculate that it is a cooler material for goalies to wear. For a closer look, visit my Miscellaneous Gear page.
The other hockey jersey that I added today is a 2008-09 Taylor Matson gold "Minnesota" script alternate jersey. When I first obtained it, there was a question over whether it was worn or just issued, as Matson was injured partway through his Freshman season. After some digging, I found a picture of him wearing this jersey in the 2009-2010 Gopher Media Guide. For a better look of this one, visit the 2006 to Current page.
Thanks for looking. I'd be happy to hear from anyone reading this who has a jersey collection of their own, or if you are just a big Gopher Hockey fan like I am.
