This road blue air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Pat LaFontaine during his final season with the New York Islanders. A regrettable string of unfortunate injuries struck Pat’s career in its prime and ultimately cost him what would surely have been very lofty career totals.

Despite the injury shortened career, he still managed seven 40-goal seasons including two of 50 or more. His 148 points in the 1992-93 campaign was one of the decade’s highest totals. When injury forced him into retirement, he took with him 468 career goals and over 1000 career points. LaFontaine was a winner of the Bill Masterton trophy for the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. He was a staple in the NHL All Star game during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s as he blossomed into one of the sport’s biggest stars. LaFontaine was one of the classiest players of his generation and was deservingly awarded with an induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Sewn to the left breast of this gamer is the alternate Captain’s “A”. This jersey has seen plenty of ice time. Game use consists of many stick marks, board burns, heavy inner pilling and a couple of team-sewn repairs. Shown in the photo-matches above is LaFontaine wearing this exact jersey during game action in the 1990-91 NHL season. This is one of the nicer game worn LaFontaine’s that has found its way to market and it will surely enhance any Hall of Fame or Islanders collection of jerseys.
