This set of glove and blocker was game used by Patrick Roy of the Colorado Avalanche during the 1996-97 NHL season. The set is photomatched to said season. The brand is KOHO. The set shows significant wear and tear from game play. The tag also has 2000-2001 written by hand, which could potentially mean that the glove & blocker was re-worn in practice, but undoubtedly the set comes from the 1996-97 season.
Patrick Roy joined the Colorado Avalanche in 1995 after a landmark trade from the Montreal Canadiens, quickly establishing himself as a pivotal player for the team. During his time with Colorado, he led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup victories in 1996 and 2001, earning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in the latter year. Roy's exceptional goaltending and leadership were instrumental in solidifying the Avalanche's status as an NHL powerhouse until his retirement in 2003.
