The Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA) and ECHL, in partnership with The MeiGray Group, are pleased to announce that the annual ECHL-PHPA-MeiGray Captains’ Club Game-Worn Jersey Auction, benefiting the ECHL Health and Welfare Trust, is officially underway.
Game-worn captain jerseys from all 28 ECHL teams from the 2023-24 season are available for bid online at meigrayauctions.com. The auction will conclude beginning at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
First launched in 2004, the Captains’ Club Jersey Auction supports the ECHL Health and Welfare Trust, which provides critical resources such as counseling services and assistance for ECHL players and their families when facing personal or behavioral health concerns, or a specific hardship.
“This auction is a meaningful way for fans and collectors to connect with the game while directly supporting the well-being of our ECHL Members,” said Darryl Dionne, PHPA Director of Communications and Business Development. “The leadership demonstrated by team Captains extends far beyond the rink and often includes being a resource for their teammates to ensure they have access to essential support when needed.”
“The Captains' Club has been a storied theme throughout the ECHL-MGG Game-Worn partnership with the PHPA,” said MeiGray President Barry Meisel. "We're excited to continue the tradition of offering these game-worn jerseys for such a worthy cause."
MeiGray has worked with the ECHL and the PHPA since 2001 and authenticates for several sport franchises across the NHL, NBA, and NFL.
