This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Joe Cirella during the 1993-94 NHL season. Cirella began his career in Colorado in 1981. The following season he relocated with the franchise to New Jersey and spent the next 7 years with the Devils. Stays with Quebec, the Rangers, Panthers and Senators followed in what was ultimately a 15-year NHL career. Cirella played in the NHL All Star game in 1984. His career saw him compile nearly 1500 PIMS, having had 6 consecutive seasons with 100 or more in the 1980’s.
Sewn to the left breast of this gamer is the alternate Captain’s “A”. Having a letter of honor on a 1st year franchise gamer is always looked upon highly by collectors. The sleeves of this gamer have been highly customized by the team. The sleeves have been shortened with lots of elastic inserted, thus leaving a narrow, tight fitting opening. The game wear on this sweater consists of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes and inner pilling. This jersey will be accompanied by a Panthers team letter.
