This white knit practice jersey by Reebok was worn by Jordan Staal circa his rookie season. The Pittsburgh Penguins selected Staal with the 2nd overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He immediately joined the NHL, netting 29 goals as a rookie and has now completed his 5th season in the bigs at the age of only 23. Appearing in the Stanley Cup Finals in your 2nd and 3rd season in the league is a fine way to begin a career. With one Stanley Cup ring already in tow this youngster figures to have plenty more chances in the years to come.

This version of the Pittsburgh Penguins practice jerseys was worn for special sessions that were open to the media. Our understanding is that each player was issued one white and one black jersey that they used for these special open media practices. In fact, these jerseys were used over and over through the course of multiple seasons and were only recently retired when the team moved the lot of them. This quality Reebok size 56 knit and mesh sweater shows use in the form of stick and slash marks, board burns and inner pilling. The elongated Velcro nameplate commonly found on these practice jerseys has been replaced with a more traditional sewn on variety.
