This Hockey Puck is signed by New Jersey Devils #26 Patril Elias, as authenticated in an accompanying letter from the New Jersey Devils.

Eliáš was drafted by the New Jersey Devils 51st overall (2nd round) in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. As part of the A Line with Petr Sýkora and Jason Arnott, he helped lead the team to the 1999–2000 Stanley Cup championship. He assisted on Arnott's Cup-clinching goal in double overtime in Game 6 at Dallas. The following year he scored a team record 96 points in the regular season, third best in the league. He also played a key role in helping New Jersey win the 2003 Stanley Cup.

He was named the Devils new captain on October 5, 2006, becoming the seventh captain in team history. He is the first European born captain in the history of the franchise. He was the winner of the 2009 Golden Hockey Stick as the world's best Czech hockey player, ending Jaromír Jágr's four-year streak. He scored his 300th career goal on December 12, 2009, against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite a weak first half by the Devils during the 2010–11 season, Patrik Elias was selected to be the Devils sole representative during the 2011 NHL All-Star Game. This was his third all-star appearance, and was eventually selected by Team Staal in the first ever NHL All-Star draft.
