This road blue knit gamer by CCM was worn by future Hall of Famer Phil Housley during the 1984-85 NHL season. Housley was the 6th overall pick in the 1982 NHL entry draft. Phil was a member of the all-rookie team in 1983, a 2nd team NHL All Star in 1992 and has appeared in 7 NHL All Star games. He is among the highest scoring defenseman in the history of the NHL. His 21-year career produced totals that are now in the books at 338 goals, 894 assists and 1232 points. His assist toals place him top 20 on the NHL’s all-time list and his point total rank him as one of the top 40 highest scoring players in league history. His 1232 point total also ranks him as the highest scoring U.S. born player in NHL history.

Sewn to the left breast is the alternate Captain’s “A”. The game use is solid consisting of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, pilling and half a dozen team-sewn repairs. As is often the case with these 1980’s Sabres gamers, this one has undergone a nameplate change. This is a fine vintage offering of this future Hall of Famer.
