This home white mesh gamer by Nike was worn by Kelly Buchberger during the 1986-87 AHL season. Buchberger spent his first 13 seasons of an 18-year NHL career with Nova Scotia’s parent club, the Edmonton Oilers. In Edmonton, Kelly was part of 3 Stanley Cup winning teams and was even honored with the team Captaincy in the 1990’s. All told Buchberger played in 1182 NHL games, amassing 2297 PIMS.

Sewn to both shoulders of this gamer are the Moosehead Oilers patches. The game wear is solid consisting of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes and heavy inner pilling. Kelly got his first NHL callup in 1986-87 as the Oilers were so impressed with his grit and feistiness in Nova Scotia where Kelly racked up 257 PIMS in 70 AHL games that year.
