This home white dureen gamer by Wilson was worn by Reed Larson during his rookie NHL season. Larson would spend 3 years under the tutilege of coach Herb Brooks at the University of Minnesota before joining the Red Wings. In his first full NHL season he was runner up to Mike Bossy for rookie of the year honors. Larson, who is a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, became the first US born defenseman to score 200 career goals. Known for his booming slapshot, Larson tabbed 11 consecutive double digit goal seasons. In 904 games Reed scored 222 goals and 685 points. He earned 3 trips to the NHL All Star game, representing the hometown Red Wings where he played his first 10 NHL seasons.

The game use on this rookie sweater is solid consisting of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, fine pilling and a handful of team-sewn repairs. This rookie gamer represents a fine opportunity for a Red Wings enthusiast or for those who collect the scoring defenseman from days gone by.
