This home white knit gamer by CCM and Century Sports was worn by Doug Bodger during the 1988-89 NHL season. Bodger enjoyed a 16-year NHL career that began as a 1st round draft choice by Pittsburgh, 9th overall in 1984. The Penguins selected Mario Lemieux 1st overall in the same draft. Bodger would spend his first 4+ years in the Steel City. He was adept offensively and netted double digit goal totals in years 3 & 4. Doug was so highly thought of by the Buffalo Sabres that they dealt standout goalie Tom Barrasso for him early in the 1988-89 season, a move that paved the way to 2 Stanley Cup titles in the Steel City. Doug played for 8 seasons in Buffalo before finishing up his career with stops in San Jose, New Jersey, LA and Vancouver.
The game wear on this sweater consists of many stick marks along the body and sleeves as well as board burns and fine inner pilling. Nice gamer worn during Super Mario’s 199 point season.
