He was described as a middle-aged man, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs roughly 180 to 220 pounds.
The man was seen wearing a blue or black baseball hat with a white logo, gold necklace, red faded New England Patriots t-shirt, black shorts and black Nike running sows with a white swoosh, police said.
A representative from Allston-Brighton youth hockey released a statement to NBC10 Boston:
"It’s really unfortunate that someone would steal these items from one of our youth hockey players and hope the jerseys are returned quickly.”
