This road blue dureen tie-down gamer by Rawlings and Dekdebrun’s was worn by Tim Regan during the 1973-74 AHL season. Regan was US born, hailing from Providence Rhode Island and played goal for the 1972 US Olympic Team. He was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1970 NHL entry draft but never made an appearance with the big squad. Tim tended net in 31 games for the Cincinnati Swords during the 1973-74 season, this being the road jersey that he wore.

This gorgeous tie down dureen is among the finer looking minor league gamers you’ll come across. It isn’t hard to see that the Swords were the Buffalo Sabres minor league affiliate. The game use is somewhat tough to discern at first glance due to the predominantly blue colored body and sleeves. What is visible are some stick and puck marks, un-repaired holes and fine inner pilling, which helps tell the tale of this 35-year-old dureen. Both the Rawlings and Dekdebrun’s tagging can be found sewn into the hem.
