Just as a reminder, the “new place” is a completely free forum hosted by ProBoards. I’m the admin because there needs to be an admin. There is no fee, no advertising and I make no money from it. It’s “Fitzy’s place” only in that I have the keys to the door.
Otherwise it’ll be “our place” for whoever shows up.
mfitz804, could you post a direct link to the ProBoard page? I will start to convert back over to that one. I'm sure it is probably easy to find, but I think it could be helpful to those that just want to click a link and save the page to their broswer.
Thanks!

I’ll be the one to say it.
How the hell are there still Zalapski jerseys you don’t have??
There is not much honestly. I have every North American team other than a short stint with the Kalamazoo Wings in 2004-2005.
I do still need a Flyers Orange 1999-2000 jersey and a Flames 1994-1998 White Jersey. And don't get me started trying to find a White or Green Whalers from his time from 1990-1992 (before the switch to the Navy & White Whalers).

A couple more the the Zalapski Collection and a Blackhawks College jersey:
1999-2000 Zarley Zalapski Long Beach Ice Dogs Authentic Home Jersey (This one too a lot of work to figure out what number he wore for the 7 games he played before getting traded to Utah - but we a lot of help, we were finally able to track it down)
1999-2000 Zarley Zalapski Utah Grizzlies Authentic Away Jersey
2019-20 Ian Mitchell University of Denver Pioneers Alternate Jersey

Did anyone buy one of the SRM patches mdwsta4 had made up? He is out, but I am looking for another red one. Anyone get one that they don't have use for it?

There are two i'm working on, but I can't figure out what number he wore:
1999-2000 Tampa Bay Lightning. In camp for a PTO for two weeks, played in two preseason games on 9/11/99 & 9/12/99, cut the next day.
1999-2000 Long Beach Ice Dogs. Played for 7 games before getting traded top the Utah Grizzlies.
I have both jerseys, but trying to find the numbers has been a pain in my a$$!
Good News!!! I received Zalapski was #3 with the Long Beach ice Dogs. Below is a roster sheet for the teams that shows this. That only leaves the Lightning I need to find!

Nice Zalapski's! Did you have the Whataburger patch made or did you find one loose?
I made some - I couldn't find them anywhere - so I have 3 more...just in case.

Have you contacted you local University library? They may have microfilm of a major local newspaper from those dates with possible pics or boxscores?
I have been through all of that.
Here is what I have for both teams:
Zarley signed a PTO with the Tampa Bay Lightning on September 1st, 1999. In a training camp game, he wore #2 for the Red Team in a training camp game, but three other players were also assigned #2 for those camp games. On September 11th & September 12th he played in Preseason games vs the Carolina Hurricanes. Zalapski was released from the Tampa Bay Lightning on September 13, 1999
The next day, he signed a 25 game contract with the Long Beach Ice Dogs
On October 9th 1999, the Utah Grizzlies played Long Beach. At the 14:59 mark of the 1st period, Zalapski was called for a Holding Penalty. He also was called for a Interference Penalty at the 17:03 mark of the 1st period
On October 10th, 1999, the Chicago Wolves played Long Beach. Thomas scored, assisted by Zalapski and Crowley at the 5:37 mark of the 3rd period on the power play.
On October 13th, 1999, Chicago played Long Beach again. Ast scored assisted by Pearson and Zalapski at the 13:21 mark of the 2nd Period.
On October 15th, the Grand Rapids Griffins played Long Beach. Pearson scored, assisted by Zalaspki and Walz at the 11:56 mark of the 3rd Period
It was reported that around November 5th. 1999, Zalapski was traded to the Utah Grizzlies
In his time with Long Beach, Zarley played in 7 games, recording 0 goals, 5 assists, and 6 penalty minutes.
I can confirm that Zalapski was not in the team picture at the start of the season, and was not listed in the 1999-2000 team media guide.So, that is where I am at. A bunch of info, but no confirmed player number.

That’s crazy. You’ve done quite a job.
For the amount of research I have done just to find out the number he wore (still with no luck) has be crazy. I'm even in communication with the Ice Dogs former announcer who is talking to their old trainer to see if they have any info. If only I put this much effort into my work...

I mean, could there be any more Zalapski jerseys left for you??

On to Zarley's IHL Years...
1999-2000 Zarley Zalapski Utah Grizzlies Authentic Home Jersey
2000-2001 Zarley Zalapski Houston Aeros Game Used Away Jersey. I received this jersey as a game used jersey with the nameplate removed. Three players wore #6 that year, Zalapski being one of those. Had EPS add the nameplate.

They haven’t? Isn’t that the traditional “no contact” color? They don’t follow that?
Hawks use White as their no contact color. They practice in Red and Black jerseys.

I got my invoice today!!! I should get the jerseys on Monday!

How did you find out it was purchased by a card company?
Meigray confirmed the Salo preseason jersey it was sold to one of them. Since they didn't have record of a Zalapski, it was determined the Salo was more than likely the recycled Zalapski, because he played in a preseason game right after being traded to the Canucks and Zarley being cut.

Some jersey and patch cards are shady too. I pulled a Quinn Hughes rookie patch card last season and it had a piece of a number on airknit material, which Hughes never wore as he debuted out of college after Adidas took over and his draft jersey was also Adidas. Granted, the card says the jersey is certified to have been worn by the player, but does not specify in a game... It still makes you wonder.
I know many times, they word the cards in a specific way to allow them to have a player put on a jersey and then use that jersey. They are not necessarily "game worn" but they are "player worn". In some of the older jersey cards, it says that the jersey was game worn, but may not be worn by that player.
Regardless - It was and still is super shady.

The last NHL style Zarley would ever wear...
2002-03 Zarley Zalapski Vancouver Canucks Authentic Away Preseason Jersey
Sad story about his gamer for this season. Meigray did the jerseys for the 2002-03 season. They never had a listing for him. So after a bit of research, Zalapski was released the same day the Canucks traded for Sami Salo. They both wore #6. More than likely, this jersey was recycled to a Salo after the trade. That jerseys was later sold to a card company to and was cut up to put into cards. The last Zarley Zalapski NHL game used jersey, is now in a bunch of swatches of random "Game Used" Jersey Cards. THAT SUCKS!

I think this one looks right. I could be a production run late in the season. Or maybe one they made at the end of the year before the confirmation of the new style that came out the next season.

Searching for a Hartford Whalers 90-91 Mesh or 91-92 Ultrafil.
Looking for either the Mesh or the Ultrafil, not Air-Knit. White or Green are fine, but prefer the green. Original authentics only, no remakes. Size doesn't matter much, but around a 52 would be great. Prefer blank, but will take whatever I can find. -

Wow. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the cost of the single kit? Been trying to find someone that can do the 2000's era Canucks properly without breaking the bank (I've got about 6-7 I'm trying to polish off in the collection)
It was $95 CAD shipped. Not sure if it would be more for them to do the customizing. This is what I got charged just for the kit.
It arrived today v. 8.0
in NHL

I just need the older style Whalers (green and white) and the Flames white 1995-1999 style for NHL jerseys. I also need a 2004-05 Kalamazoo Wings and I will have at least one of his North American team jersey he used. I would like to get his 1988 Canada Olympic style too. I though I had one that would work, but it was an airknit, and he used an Ultrafil.
I will not get his overseas jersey - even that is too much for me to bother with.
Here is a link to my Zalapski Flickr page if anyone want to check them out: https://www.flickr.com/photos/149993333@N06/albums/72157712437353052
