Matthews' game-worn Centennial Classic sweater sells for big bucks

An Auston Matthews Centennial Classic sweater, worn by the rookie himself at the outdoor event, has sold for $11,400 on NHL Auctions.

Bidding for the sweater began Boxing Day, and the item was sold two weeks after the Toronto Maple Leafs superstar scored the overtime winner against the Detroit Red Wings at BMO Field in Toronto.

It's obviously a lot of money to spend on memorabilia, but an investment this wealthy sports fans was willing to stomach. And who knows? It could be worth a fortune one day.

But it should be noted: Matthews wore the sweater for the first period alone. It was likely already packed up well before the rookie's overtime heroics.
