This home white knit gamer by CCM was worn by Hall of Fame defenseman Larry Robinson circa the mid 1980’s. Robinson enjoyed a 20-year NHL career and spent the first 17 of those seasons with Montreal where he won 7 Stanley Cups. Larry was the 1978 Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP and also captured 2 Norris Trophies as the NHL’s best defenseman.

Robinson was 6-times a 1st or 2nd team NHL All Star on defense and was a regular participant in the NHL All Star game throughout his 2 decade long career, playing in 10 of them. Robinson also starred when the international spotlight was on, playing for Team Canada in 4 different Canada Cups while also taking part in those memorable New Year’s Eve Super Series contests against the Soviets during the Cold War era. Larry is considered one of the game’s all-time greats and was so recognized in the now revered ‘The Hockey News’ book which ranked the 50 greatest players in NHL history. Larry was honored as the 24th greatest player in NHL history in that publication.

Proudly sewn to the left breast of this sweater is the Captain’s “C”. Robinson served as team Captain during the era when Bob Gainey held the title and was unable to dress due to injury. This is one of those coveted sweaters. The game wear consists of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, washed out bloodstains, inner pilling and several team-sewn repairs.
