Description
1991-92 Jiri Hrdina Penguins Game Worn Jersey - "Badger Bob" - "25-year Anniversary"
Lot #129

This white knit 3-patch gamer was worn by Jiri Hrdina during the 1991-92 NHL season. Hrdina, who hails from Prague, spent 6 seasons in the NHL, winning 3 Stanley Cups! His first 4 years were with the Calgary Flames where he captured the Cup in 1989. He would then play 2 seasons in Pittsburgh, winning the Cup in 1991 and 1992.

Sewn to the left shoulder of this gamer is the Badger Bob patch, commemorating the death of the Pens fallen leader Badger Bob Johnson. Sewn to the right shoulder is the Penguins 25-year anniversary patch. Sewn to the right breast is the NHL’s 75-year anniversary patch. Game wear consists of stick marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes, washed out bloodstains and fine inner pilling.

Offered here is one of the most coveted styles in all collecting circles. These 3-patched gamers came into play 22 games into the 1991-92 season, a day after the passing of Badger Bob. Therefore gamers that sported all 3 patches were worn for less than 60 home and road regular season contests. Also of great significance was the Penguins winning their 2nd of back to back Stanley Cup championships that very season, forever marking these jerseys as special in all Penguins fans eyes.
