Avalanche Hockey Poster Appraisal

Patrick Roy Colorado Avalanche Hockey Player Poster

This item is a commercially produced poster featuring legendary NHL goaltender Patrick Roy, depicted in his Colorado Avalanche uniform. The poster's dominant colors are the maroon, blue, and white associated with the Avalanche, with a bold maroon border around the image. Roy is shown in a crouched goaltending stance on the ice, wearing a full set of hockey equipment, including his distinctive white and blue goalie mask with a black cage, blue and maroon jersey number 33, and maroon and white goalie pads and gloves. The manufacturer's branding 'KOHO' is visible on his stick, blocker, catcher, and leg pads, indicating the equipment brand he used. The poster features 'Roy' in a large, stylized maroon script with a white outline at the top left, and 'PATRICK ROY' in a bold, white block font with a maroon outline at the bottom. The background appears to be an active hockey game environment, with blurred spectators and a red goal net visible. The poster itself has a slight sheen, suggesting a glossy paper or cardstock finish. No significant condition issues such as tears, creases, or major discoloration are immediately visible from the provided image, though minor edge wear or corner damage is always possible given the nature of posters. The overall execution suggests a late 1990s to early 2000s creation, aligning with Roy's tenure with the Colorado Avalanche. This piece is a collectible sports memorabilia item, likely targeted at hockey fans and collectors.
