Shore’s sweater sold to collector

TORONTO — An NHL jersey once worn by Hall of Fame defenceman Eddie Shore has sold for $119,500 US.

Shore’s Boston Bruins No. 2 sweater was sold to an anonymous collector from New York on Saturday at Heritage Auctions’ Sports Platinum Night Auction.

Previous owner Scott Johnston had hoped to fetch around $100,000 for the jersey once worn by Shore, a fourtime winner of the NHL’s most valuable player award.

The jersey belonged to Johnston’s grandfather, Byron Johnston.
