This Pittsburgh Penguins jersey was part of the Ken “Hammered Hockey” Mace Collection. Ken’s collection focused intently on both of Pennsylvania’s NHL hockey teams. We will be donating a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this sweater to the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society both in support of Ken and to help aid in the fight against Blood Cancers.

This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Martin Straka during the 2002-03 NHL season. The Pittsburgh Penguins made Straka their 1st round selection in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft. He spent 10 of his 15 NHL seasons as a member of the Penguins, the team he is most associated with. During his 954 game career, this talented native of the Czech Republic netted 257 goals and 717 points. On the international scene, Straka partook in 2 World Cups, several World Championships and 2 Olympics that included a Gold Medal during the 1998 Winter Games.

Sewn proudly to the left breast of this gamer is the alternate Captain’s “A”. The game wear on this sweater is solid consisting of numerous stick and slash marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes, a salted fight strap and pilling both inside and at the sleeve cuffs from Straka’s gloves. A nice offering worn by this 30-goal scorer. This jersey will be accompanied by a Penguins team letter.

It comes as no surprise that this Pittsburgh Penguins jersey has solid game wear, as it was part of the Ken “Hammered Hockey” Mace Collection.
