This road orange dureen gamer by General Athletic and Pearson Sporting Goods was worn by Andre Lacroix during the 1970-71 NHL season. Lacroix began his NHL career with the Philadelphia Flyers in the first year of the franchise’s existence, 1967-68. He spent the first 4 years of his NHL career in Philadelphia and then spent the 1971-72 season with the Chicago Black Hawks. In 1972-73, Lacroix bolted to the WHA and became one of the league’s all-time greatest players. He is the all-time leading scorer in WHA history by a large margin with 798 points in 551 games. He is also the all-time leader in assists with 547, nearly 200 more than the next on the list. Lacroix was the WHA’s 1st Team All Star Center in each of the leagues first 3 seasons and he played in 5 WHA All Star games. Andre was the first scoring champ in WHA history, a title he also captured in 1974-75. When the WHA merged into the NHL, Lacroix went with them and played for the Hartford Whalers for a brief time in 1979-80 before retiring.

Offered here is a road gamer from Lacroix’s final season with the Philadelphia Flyers. Sewn into the collar is the Pearson Sporting Goods and size 46 tagging. Sewn into the hem is the General Athletic tagging. The game wear on this vintage v-neck dureen is on the lighter side and consists of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, abrasions and inner pilling. Sewn to the inside back, beneath the player number is a vintage garter style fight strap. This all-original example is quite a sight to behold for the old school enthusiasts. Vintage post expansion Flyers dureens are among the hobbies true rarities. Having the opportunity to acquire one that was donned by the all-time leading scorer in WHA history is one that you shouldn’t let pass you by, choice!
