“Today’s OHL prospects are tomorrow’s NHL superstars, and those jerseys are treasured by fans and collectors across the globe,” said Barry Meisel, president of the MeiGray Group. “We’re honored that such a respected, tradition-rich league like the OHL has asked MeiGray to authenticate its most important game-worn jerseys. It shows the OHL cares about its fans, its collectors, and the rich heritage of these jerseys.”
The MeiGray Group is the world’s leading authenticator and distributor of game-worn hockey jerseys. MeiGray works with the National Hockey League and 14 National Hockey League teams, the American Hockey League and the ECHL authenticating and distributing its game-worn jerseys.
MeiGray’s state of the art authentication system uses individually numbered security tags armed with covert and overt features to ensure that the authenticity of every jersey sold through its system is absolute.
