This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Mark Recchi during the 1993-94 NHL season. Recchi began his NHL career in 1988-89 as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He would soon after team with Mario and company to capture the 1991 Stanley Cup. At the trading deadline of the following season, as the Pens were embarking on their 2nd Stanley Cup run, Rex was dealt to the Flyers in exchange for Rick Tocchet.
Mark would represent Philadelphia for parts of 4 seasons where he teamed with a young Eric Lindros to form one of the deadliest duos in the sport before heading to the Montreal Canadiens in yet another blockbuster deal. Following 5 years with Les Habitants, Recchi returned to Philly where he played for another 6 seasons. His next stop was back to where it all began, the Pittsburgh Penguins. However a deadline deal in 2006 proved fruitful for the veteran winger, as he captured his 2nd Stanley Cup while on loan to the Carolina Hurricanes. Since returning and then again leaving the Pens in 2007-08, Rex played for the Thrashers, Lightning and most recently the Boston Bruins. During Mark’s time with Boston he provided veteran leadership to the young club and helped them bring home Lord Stanley’s Cup for the first time in 39 years this past spring. This was Recchi’s 3rd Stanley Cup title. With his playing days now behind him, in a career that spanned 1652 games, Recchi tallied 577 goals and 956 assists for a total of 1533 points. Recchi is 5th all time in games played, has played in 7 NHL All Star games and was named 2nd Team NHL All Star at right wing in 1992. With Mark announcing his retirement after his 2010-11 Stanley Cup season, a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame is no doubt reserved for this former 50-goal sniper.
Proudly sewn to the left breast of this gamer is the alternate Captain’s “A”. The game wear on this sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns and inner pilling. The 1993-94 season saw Recchi light the lamp 40 times to go along with 67 helpers for a robust 107-point campaign.
