On a crisp New Year's Day in front of 67,246 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA, the National Hockey League's eighth annual classic matched two Original Six franchises whose rivalry has burned for decades. The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins, 5-1, in the 2016 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic.

The NHL-MeiGray Group Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program is proud to offer fans and collectors across the globe the opportunity to own a piece of history...the actual jersey worn by #47 Torey Krug of the Boston Bruins during the first period of this historic event.

This black jersey is a Size 56 and is registered into the NHL-MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program as number M07001.

The Bruins wore a jersey inspired by the first jersey they wore during their Inaugural 1924-25 season, with the colors updated to match Boston's current jersey.

The Canadiens honored their stories past with a jersey that recalled multiple elements related to their rich history. The chest stripe is a shade of blue inspired by the first-ever Canadiens jersey worn after their founding in 1909. The central crest features a "CH" with colors inverted from what has been the norm for 90 years. The "C" is white and the "H" is red, as they were in 1923-24, the season the team won its first Stanley Cup championship as part of the NHL. An image of a globe on the sleeve borrows from the "World Champions" design worn by Montreal the following season to celebrate its championship, a season where the franchise also began its longstanding rivalry with the newly founded Bruins, then playing in their inaugural campaign. The jersey also features a distinctive red collar originally is reminiscent of that worn in 1945-46, a season that culminated in the Canadiens, led by the "Punch Line" of Maurice Richard, Hector "Toe" Blake, and Elmer Lach, defeating Boston to earn their sixth Stanley Cup Championship.

Affixed to the right shoulder of each Bruins jersey is the 2016 NHL Winter Classic patch and affixed to the right shoulder of each Canadiens jersey is the 2016 Classique Hivernale patch.
