This home white knit gamer by Maska was worn by Randy Ladouceur during his rookie NHL season in 1982-83. Randy’s first 5 seasons were spent in the Motor City prior to moving to Hartford and Anaheim. Following a 14-year NHL career, Randy turned his attention to coaching where he has served as an NHL assistant in Hartford, Carolina and Toronto.

The game wear on this rookie sweater consists of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, washed out bloodstains, un-repaired burn holes and pilling. Sewn in the collar are the Maska and Eastside tags. These stunning Maska gamers with the fancy script style numbers were a 1-year style worn by the Red Wings during only the 1982-83 season and are thus highly prized among collectors. Also significant about this gamer is that this was the last time a #19 gamer was ever worn prior to Stevie Yzerman taking it over as a rookie the following season. This is a choice example with historic Detroit significance of the retired player #19.
