This road orange mesh gamer by CCM was worn by Glenn “Chico” Resch during the 1986-87 NHL season, the final year of his All Star career. Chico made his NHL debut with the New York Islanders in their 2nd season of operation, 1973-74. He would spend 8 seasons on Long Island and was a key component in helping to build the expansion franchise into Stanley Cup contenders. After winning the Stanley Cup in 1979-80, the Islanders dealt Resch to the Colorado Rockies mid way through the 1980-81 season. Chico spent parts of 6 years with the Rockies and Devils franchise. In the New Jersey Devils first year of operation, Chico appeared in 65 games, a career high. The Devils dealt Resch to the Philadelphia Flyers during the latter part of the 1985-86 season. The following season Chico backed up rookie Ron Hextall as the Flyers made a run to game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. In addition to his Stanley Cup title, Chico was two times a 2nd Team NHL All Star, played in 3 NHL All Star games and was the recipient of the 1982 Bill Masterton Trophy.
Offered here is Chico’s road gamer from his final NHL season. During the 1986-87 campaign, Chico partook in 17 regular season games and another couple in the Stanley Cup playoffs as the Flyers took the dynasty Oliers to game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Resch’s tutelage that year helped a rookie Ron Hextall capture both the Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophies. Chico posted a 2.91 GAA during the regular season and a 1.67 GAA in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The game wear on this vintage sweater consists of stick and puck marks, smears of goal post paint transfer and pilling. A fine looking example from this 3-time All Star’s final NHL season and one that culminated in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals!
