HC Asiago x Daniel Sullivan [2012-13]


Today's jersey entry is a very special one. This comes all the way from Italy where an elementary/high school classmate of mine, Daniel Sullivan, plays professional hockey with HC Asiago. I found out he was in the Supercoppa Italiana [Italian Supercup] tournament and wanted to know where I can buy his jersey. He was gracious enough to send me one courtesy of him and his team.


Upon seeing this jersey, I was off my feet. This uniform is amazing! Graced with stars on the sleeves and waist with numerous logos left, right, and centre - it reminds me of those Nascar pacers or F1 vehicles. I'm really amped on the amount of detail thrown into it. Each graphic is dyed into the jersey, so they won't peel or crack. The boxed dual coloured ID on the back stands out very well too.


This letter was also thrown in there, which is a wonderful keepsake. Some of my earliest memories were inviting him to my birthday parties, but he'd always be late because he had a hockey game. I was always cool with it because I knew he'd be pro anyway. I'm always down to support the locals and this is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Dan.


Born on 26 April 1987 in Toronto, Canada, he attended Niagara University playing hockey for the Purple Eagles between 2005-09. In 144 games played, he tallied 30 points with 7 goals and 23 assists.


He then played 5 games for the Reading Royals of the ECHL at the end of their 2008-09 season before heading out to his motherland where he'd suit up for SG Cortina [2009-10], HC Val di Fassa [2010-12], and now with HC Asiago [2012-Present].



In his first full season with HC Asiago, Daniel Sullivan netted 7 goals and added 11 assists for a total of 18 points. He helped bring the team to the Supercoppa Italiana and capture the championship by beating HC Valpellice. For the 2013-14 season, he scored 30 points [11 goals, 19 assists] in a total of 40 games played.



Since 2011, Daniel Sullivan has represented Team Italy in the Euro Ice Hockey Challenge and the 2013 IIHF First Division World Championships.


Career Highlights and Awards [as of 2014]:
2008 NCAA (CHA) Champion
2013 IIHF World Championship [Division 1A] Silver Medalist
2013 Supercoppa Italiana [Italian Supercup]
2013 Campionato italiano [Italian Championship]
