Hamilton Steelheads 3rd jersey?

Found a jersey on Ebay with the same striping pattern as the Hamilton Steelheads one.

Removed the crest on front but was a fair bit of glue residue left so I used some Goof Off to remove the majority of the residue.  Also removed the Concrete Pond front patch.  Left the back number and 'A' on as is.

Decided to use the fish from the shoulder crest of the actual Steelheads jersey as the main crest.  Was originally going to recreate the shoulder patch as a main crest with the gold shield like shape, but decided instead to just use the fish.  Scanned and made an enlarged photocopy of shoulder patch for template for the crest and went through my usual procedure for making the crest.

Here's the back of the crest.  You can see where I forgot to sew on the black eye shape before putting it on the jersey.

Sewed the crest on jersey and then sewed the black eye area I previously missed.

With the gold around the collar, jersey looks a little incomplete without gold anywhere else.  Could cover up the gold on the collar.  Maybe I could add a thin diagonal stripe or a add a variation of the 'STEEHEADS' that is diagonally across the lower section of the actual jersey.  Arm numbers with gold is another idea.  Thought of adding a shoulder patch, but haven't as of yet thought of a design I like for the shoulder patches - if I'm making it, it has to be fairly simple as embroidery would be the best way for very small detail and my couple attempts at hand embroidery sucked.  As the goalie in the crest of the actual jersey has a welding mask, was thinking of a welding mask or something to do with welding or steel working - sketched a few ideas but nothing I came up with really grabbed me.  Another idea would be to get a patch to do with the Department of Fisheries (or DFO or Fisheries and Oceans Canada as it is known now) as that Canadian Government department took over the team for a while in Season 2.  Another Possibility is an old Steelworkers Union patch.

In any case, the jersey is done - at least for the time being.

Power Play Hamilton Steelheads jersey

My jersey arrived in the mail today.  Purchased a jersey from Mr. Murdoch in St. Catherines, ON.  The jersey is a Hamilton Steelheads jersey from a television show from the late 90's called Power Play.  It originally was broadcast on CTV and the series lasted 2 seasons; it was also repeated years ago on Showcase.  Apparently it briefly played in the U.S. on UPN but was pulled after 2 episodes after it bombed there.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Play_%28TV_series%29

The best fan page on the show that I found that is still running is this one: http://www.g2creations.qc.ca/powerplay/.

A 1998 article from the film magazine "Take One" that the author has either quoted or has personally interviewed the producers of the show is online here: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Power+play%3a+putting+drama+on+ice.-a030155914

A Canadian online movie and tv guide has a brief description and review of the series: http://www.pulpanddagger.com/movies/p2_b.html#bot

 If you are looking for the series on DVD or even VHS you are out of luck; none were made.  Tough to find even clips of the show.  A fan of the show made a video montage set to the Tragically Hip's song 'Fireworks'.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snvI_P7CfzE

I would say the most well known actors/personalities that were on the show were Don Cherry (Coach's conrner on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada), Gordon Pinsent (Due South and many others), and Al Waxman (King of Kensington, Cagney & Lacey, etc.).  Famous hockey players that made appearances as themselves in the show include Bobby Hull, Guy Lafleur, and Jean Beliveau.

Onto my jersey.
Here's some pics.

The show must have renumbered a previous jersey for the Kerensky one.  You can see some glue residue around the numbers. Most evident on the sleeve numbers.

[EDIT - Oct 24th - found complete series online on You Tube.  They were uploaded by 'Twee de bourg' 3 years ago.  Here's a link to the first part of the first episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5KhsyrO0BM ]

Here's a couple screen shots; first one a head shot of the player in the dressing room, others back of player on ice.
