Tyson Barrie #41

Lake Erie Monsters – American Hockey League (AHL)
2012-13 Reebok Edge (Size 54) – Game Worn
St. Patrick’s Day

I came across this jersey on eBay just from a random search, nothing automated or something I had been regularly checking. I’m not sure if the timing was just right, or if this jersey had been listed on eBay for a while before I found it. It was an instant buy, even though the seller had offers on.

This jersey is definitely a personal grail for me. I honestly did not think I’d find any Lake Erie Monsters jerseys that were era-specific for TB, let alone a gamer. Granted, it’s a specialty jersey, but I’ll take it! Tyson scored a goal and tallied an assist in this jersey, earning him the 3rd star of the game in a 5-3 loss against the Toronto Marlies on 3/17/13. Now if the Wranglers could go ahead and release their 24-25 gamers, that’d be much appreciated…
