 tor\n\nThis White Set 1 Away jersey was worn by Connor McDavid in his thir
 d career game\, when the Edmonton Oilers took on the Dallas Stars on Octob
 er 13\, 2015. McDavid scored his first career goal in the game\, which was
  also his first career point. The Oilers lost 4-2.\n\nThis jersey was also
  worn by McDavid in his second career game\, when the Oilers took on the N
 ashville Predators on October 10\, 2015. The Oilers lost 2-0.\n\nWhen Conn
 or McDavid was drafted with the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft\,
  McDavid was joining an Edmonton Oilers team that had seen better days. Fa
 r beyond the glory days of Wayne Gretzky\, Oilers fans had not seen a play
 off game since 2006\, when the Oilers lost a heartbreaking seven game Stan
 ley Cup Final after recovering from a 3-1 deficit to force a seventh game.
 \n\nThen came the 2015 Draft Lottery. Entering the evening\, the Oilers ha
 d an 11.5 percent chance at landing the number one overall pick. Everyone 
 knew that there was only one player for the number one pick. That year’s
  class had a clear consensus first overall pick with the skills to become 
 a franchise cornerstone: Connor McDavid.\n\nMcDavid had a stellar youth ca
 reer. McDavid was granted Exceptional Player Status by Hockey Canada after
  being named Player of the Year in the Greater Toronto Hockey League and w
 inner of the Tim Adams Memorial Trophy. Drafted first overall by the Erie 
 Otters of the Ontario Hockey League\, McDavid’s time in the OHL was punc
 tuated by his incredible final season\, in which he scored 120 points and 
 received the Red Tilson Trophy\, Wayne Gretzky 99 Award\, and CHL Player o
 f the Year Award. Meanwhile\, McDavid also represented Canada at the 2013 
 IIHF World Under 18 Championships and the 2015 World Junior Ice Hockey Cha
 mpionships\, leading his team to gold medals in both events. Everyone knew
  that the rights to draft him would be the main prize of the 2015 NHL lott
 ery.\n\nOn April 18\, 2015\, as the hockey world looked on\, the Edmonton 
 Oilers defied the odds and won the first overall pick. The front office wa
 s elated. Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish said “I can’t tell yo
 u how exciting it is for us to win this lottery…Any team would be just o
 ver the moon about winning the lottery. We’re the same. It’s a game-ch
 anger."\n\nDespite protests by assistant general manager Bill Scott that M
 cDavid was not their guaranteed first pick\, the Oilers had their man. Des
 cribed as a “craftsman with the puck\,” commentators touted his incred
 ible vision\, sense of timing\, and anticipation that went along with “t
 op-end” speed\, with many calling him a generational talent and the best
  prospect since Sidney Crosby. Two months later\, they made it official. T
 he Oilers faithful had already begun celebrating\, with unofficial jerseys
  flooding Edmonton in the weeks before McDavid’s name was called.\n\nMcD
 avid did not disappoint. McDavid showed flashes of brilliance in his first
  game against the St. Louis Blues\, and although he did not record a point
  his coach was impressed that as the game progressed\, McDavid got better.
  In McDavid’s second game\, which this jersey is matched to\, McDavid pl
 ayed 18 and ½ minutes and registered two shots on goal against yet anothe
 r strong defensive team\, the Nashville Predators. The NHL world eagerly a
 waited the young prodigy’s first goal.\n\nThe breakthrough came in McDav
 id’s third game. Against the Dallas Stars in the second period\, McDavid
  deflected a shot by teammate Andrej Sekera and tipped in the first goal o
 f his career to tie the game 2-2 in this jersey. Although the Oilers lost\
 , McDavid acknowledged that it was a day that he would remember for the re
 st of his life.\n\nThat goal kicked off an NHL career that many Oilers fan
 s will remember for the rest of theirs. Despite suffering a broken clavicl
 e in just his 13th game that would keep him out for three months\, McDavid
  still finished the season with 48 points\, was named to the All-Rookie Te
 am\, and was a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy.\n\nHis showing in 
 his rookie season earned him the nod as team captain\, making him the youn
 gest in NHL history. He rewarded the Oilers’ faith by leading the team o
 ut of its decade-long playoff drought while earning MVP honors\, the Ted L
 indsay Award\, and was named to the NHL First All-Star Team. He also becam
 e the second youngest player to win the Art Ross Trophy for leading scorer
 . In the years since\, McDavid has made more history\, becoming only the s
 econd player in NHL history to win the MVP award unanimously in 2021\, and
  on April 8\, 2023\, McDavid became the first player in 27 years to record
  150 points in a single season. That same season\, McDavid became the 23rd
  player in NHL history to score 60 goals in a single season. McDavid becam
 e the 99th player in NHL history to reach 1\,000 career points on November
  14\, 2024.\n\nMcDavid’s success has also bred team success. The Oilers 
 have made every Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2019-20 season\, and they h
 ave made it to the Stanley Cup Finals in each of the past two seasons.\n\n
 At the age of 28\, having won three MVPs\, five Art Ross Trophies\, four T
 ed Lindsay Awards for outstanding player\, one Maurice Richard Trophy for 
 leading goal scorer in 2022-23\, and the Connor Smythe Trophy for most val
 uable player of his team in 2023-24 while being named to an NHL All-Star t
 eam seven times\, a Stanley Cup is set firmly in McDavid’s sights. The o
 nly question is: how much more greatness will we get to witness as he chas
 es one. Do not miss your chance to own this incredible piece of hockey his
 tory that bore witness to the first goal ever scored by McDavid on his jou
 rney to historic heights.\n\nThis jersey has been photomatched by MeiGray
