Welcome to the 4th Annual Jukka Nieminen Charity Auction!

The Phoenix Coyotes, together with the Minnesota Wild and the MeiGray Group, are auctioning game and/or practice-used gloves, game and/or practice-used helmets, game and/or practice-used sticks, game and/or practice-used catchers and blockers, game and/or practice-worn skates, game-worn jerseys, and a team autographed jersey. The items have been donated from various NHL teams to benefit the family of Jukka Nieminen.

Nieminen was the long time massage therapist for the Phoenix Coyotes. On June 11, 2010, Nieminen passed away suddenly at the age of 40, leaving behind two daughters, Alexandra and Caroline. All proceeds from this auction will be directed to Nieminen's daughters' college fund.

The MeiGray Group Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program is proud to offer collectors across the globe the opportunity to own a piece of history ... an actual game and/or practice-used stick autographed by #9 Mikko Koivu of the Minnesota Wild during the 2014-15 National Hockey League season.

Mikko Koivu autographed this stick on the blade.

This Easton Synergy HTX Stick is registered into the MGG Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program as number MGA001059.

MeiGray and the MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program is working with 10 of the 30 NHL clubs in 2014-15: Boston, Columbus, Dallas, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Toronto and Washington. You can find these jerseys available for sale at meigray.com

Every jersey worn by each of these ten clubs contains a uniquely numbered inventory tag sewn into the jersey BEFORE IT IS WORN BY THE PLAYER ON THE ICE. This tag is equipped with covert security features regularly checked by MGG Program Directors so we can tell who wore the jersey, and when.
