The London Knights are being sued for fraud over a Mitch Marner jersey.

Scott Galbraith, a Londoner and die-hard fan of the reigning Memorial Cup champs, alleges the black No. 93 sweater he paid nearly $4,000 for after winning a Canadian Hockey League-run online auction in May is a fake and not the one the Maple Leafs first-round draft pick donned during the 2015-16 season, as promised, in a statement of claim filed Tuesday.

The Knights, the CHL and the Hockey Hall of Fame — which received Marner’s Memorial Cup game-worn jersey as an artifact after the final game — are named as defendants in the $100,00 claim, $80,000 of which is for aggravated and punitive damages.

Galbraith is a longtime collector who has owned more than 250 game-worn hockey jerseys ranging in value from $250 to $10,000. There is plenty of fraud in his hobby, so he has learned over the years what to look for in identifying genuine articles.
