The whole team set from Game 4 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, in which the Blue & Orange crushed the Panthers 8-1, is up for auction in the most recent Oilers game-worn jersey auction! A pair of Leon Draisaitl’s game-worn gloves and five helmets are also present.

The latest Edmonton Oilers game-worn jersey auction isn’t just another memorabilia event—it’s a golden opportunity for fans and collectors to own a piece of what may go down as one of the most dominant performances in Stanley Cup Final history. The entire game-worn uniform set from Game 4 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, in which the Oilers routed the Florida Panthers 8-1, is now up for grabs. From Connor McDavid’s sweater to the pads worn by Stuart Skinner in the crease, this is a collector’s dream wrapped in blue and orange fabric.

The gear from that explosive night—when Edmonton forced the hockey world to pay attention to its resurgence—is expected to command intense bidding. It was a game that wasn’t just a win. It was a message. And now, that message lives on in stitched numbers, battle-scarred gloves, sweat-soaked jerseys, and dented helmets.

In addition to the full team set of jerseys, the auction includes five game-worn helmets and a pair of gloves used by Oilers star Leon Draisaitl. For anyone who saw that game—or followed the Oilers’ electrifying postseason run—these items are more than just equipment. They are relics of a night when everything clicked.

To fully understand the significance of this auction, one must revisit the scene. On June 15, 2024, Rogers Place was vibrating with anticipation. The Oilers trailed the Panthers 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final series, and Game 4 had all the makings of a make-or-break night.

Then, the eruption.

By the end of the second period, the scoreboard read 6-1. By the final buzzer, 8-1. The Oilers had not just won—they had embarrassed a Panthers team that many thought had already placed one hand on the Cup.

Connor McDavid had four points. Leon Draisaitl added two assists and played like a man possessed. Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard each had multi-point games. Even depth players like Derek Ryan and Mattias Janmark etched their names into the box score.

And now, the very jerseys worn during those moments—the ones with sweat, pride, and a little bit of Canadian magic—are being offered to the public.

The auction is being run by the Oilers’ official online auction partner and will run for several weeks, concluding later this month. Each jersey comes authenticated, detailing the exact minutes it was worn during the Game 4 massacre. The catalog includes:

  • Connor McDavid’s Game 4 Jersey: Likely the crown jewel of the event. Worn during his four-point masterpiece, this sweater is expected to fetch a five-figure sum.
  • Leon Draisaitl’s Gloves: Worn during the same game, Draisaitl’s gloves already show heavy signs of use. His trademark handling marks and battle wear offer proof of how intense the game was, despite the lopsided score.
  • Five Game-Worn Helmets: Including those used by Hyman, Nugent-Hopkins, Bouchard, and two others. The helmets show puck marks, scratches, and stickers still intact.
  • Stuart Skinner’s Goalie Pads (Not confirmed, but speculated to be added): While not currently listed, rumors swirl that Skinner’s Game 4 setup could be added later. He made 29 saves and withstood the Panthers’ pushback like a seasoned veteran.
  • Full Team Set of Jerseys: That means all skaters’ sweaters—from top-line stars to fourth-line grinders.

All items are accompanied by certificates of authenticity and are being showcased on the Oilers’ official auction portal. Proceeds from the auction are expected to go toward Oilers Foundation initiatives, benefiting youth hockey and community wellness programs throughout Alberta.

Blowouts happen in hockey. But blowouts in the Stanley Cup Final? Rare. And blowouts by seven goals in a must-win Game 4? Virtually unheard of.

This auction matters not just because of the gear, but because of what that game symbolized. The Oilers, after years of “almosts” and “what-ifs,” finally demonstrated the terrifying ceiling everyone had been waiting for. For a fanbase that has waited since 1990 to lift the Cup, Game 4 was catharsis. It was validation.

“This game will go down as one of the most complete playoff performances in franchise history,” said longtime Oilers broadcaster Jack Michaels. “If the Oilers win the Cup this year—or even if they don’t—Game 4 will be remembered as the night they showed what peak Oilers hockey looks like.”

And fans now have the rare opportunity to own a literal piece of that memory.

There’s no question that Connor McDavid’s jersey will be the marquee item. Already considered a generational talent and likely future Hall-of-Famer, McDavid’s gear fetches astronomical prices on the open market.

A jersey worn during a four-point game in the Stanley Cup Final? The demand could exceed even high-end estimates.

One hockey memorabilia expert, who spoke anonymously, said, “If his jersey from Game 4 sells for less than $25,000, I’d be shocked. This is Connor McDavid, in his prime, putting on a clinic on hockey’s biggest stage. That’s historic.”

While McDavid gets much of the spotlight, Leon Draisaitl’s gear carries a distinct weight. The German center has long been the NHL’s most underrated superstar. His gloves, used during a game in which he dictated pace, controlled possession, and played physical two-way hockey, could be a steal for serious collectors.

“They’re not just gloves,” said one fan. “They’re a piece of Draisaitl’s grit. He plays with a level of controlled rage, and those gloves show it.”

Each piece of equipment undergoes a rigorous authentication process. The Oilers’ equipment staff logs every item’s usage—periods worn, game time, and any significant markings. Once verified, each piece receives a unique identifier that traces its Game 4 origin.

“We treat this process with the utmost seriousness,” said an Oilers auction coordinator. “These are legacy pieces. We owe it to the fans and collectors to ensure everything is authentic.”

Hockey memorabilia has become a booming market in recent years. The 2020s have seen soaring prices on authenticated game-worn items, especially those tied to playoff games, milestones, or marquee matchups. The Stanley Cup Final is the sport’s pinnacle, and this particular game—because of the score and stakes—has given the items an extra sheen of desirability.

Expect bidding wars.

Expect emotional buys.

Social media lit up with reactions as news of the auction dropped.

“This is our 1984 moment,” one Reddit user wrote, referring to the Oilers’ first-ever Stanley Cup win that year. “We’re watching a new dynasty take shape, and this gear proves it.”

Others echoed the sentiment, calling the auction “a once-in-a-lifetime chance” and “the ultimate time capsule.”

Even rival fans acknowledged the moment.

“Not an Oilers fan, but that Game 4 was art. If I had the money, I’d bid just to own a piece of it,” one Panthers supporter wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

While the final result of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final still hangs in the balance, the gear from Game 4 already feels legendary. If the Oilers complete the comeback and hoist the Cup, these jerseys and helmets may appreciate even further in value.

If they don’t, the gear still represents a thunderous high point—a night when they played flawless hockey and reminded everyone why Edmonton is considered the most storied Canadian franchise outside of Montreal.

“This is a celebration of that potential realized,” said a longtime Oilers season ticket holder. “And now we get to bring a piece of that home.”

At first glance, it might seem like a fan auction. But dig deeper, and this offering is something far more profound. It’s a reflection of culture. It’s the physical manifestation of a dream rekindled. It’s the sweat-stained battle armor of warriors who gave everything on the biggest stage.

From McDavid’s graceful explosiveness to Draisaitl’s relentless control, from Skinner’s poise to the silent contributions of every third-liner and defenseman, Game 4 was more than just hockey. It was history.

And now, that history is on the auction block—waiting for a place to be enshrined, remembered, and loved all over again.
