Martin Brodeur Game Used Goalie Pads 1996-97 New Jersey Devils Heaton Helite IV Photo-Matched AS-03492

These Heaton Helite IV pads were worn by legendary goaltender Martin Brodeur during the 1996-97 NHL season with the New Jersey Devils and have been photo-matched for authenticity. Considered the most recognizable and iconic set of pads from Brodeur’s storied career, they showcase the classic red, white, and black Devils design that became synonymous with his dominance in net. Worn during a defining period where Brodeur solidified his reputation as one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history, this set stands as a museum-worthy artifact directly tied to his legacy.

These pads saw extensive use throughout the 1996-97 NHL season and remain autographed and inscribed by Martin Brodeur. They have been conclusively photo-matched to multiple game images, including Getty archives 279607, 53122205, and 72463203, with dozens of additional confirmed matches available. Beyond game photography, the pads are also photo-matched to various hockey cards, New Jersey Devils programs, and other period publications, further cementing their authenticity and significance. While the accompanying Steiner LOA references these pads as being worn during Brodeur’s playoff goal against Montreal, comprehensive photo evidence confirms that this attribution is incorrect.

Rarely does such a career-defining piece of game-used equipment become available, making these pads a true centerpiece for any serious hockey or sports memorabilia collection.
