This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Pat LaFontaine during the mid 1980’s. A regrettable string of unfortunate injuries struck Pat’s career in its prime and ultimately cost him what would surely have been very lofty career totals. Despite the injury shortened career, he still managed seven 40-goal seasons including two of 50 or more. His 148 points in the 1992-93 campaign was one of the decade’s highest totals.

When injury forced him into retirement, he took with him 468 career goals and over 1000 career points. LaFontaine was a winner of the Bill Masterton trophy for the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. He was a staple in the NHL All Star game during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s as he blossomed into one of the sport’s biggest stars. LaFontaine was one of the classiest players of his generation and was deservingly awarded with an induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The game wear on this sweater consists of a good many stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer from the boards at the Nassau Coliseum, un-repaired burn holes and fine inner pilling. This early career example was worn by this popular Hall of Famer as he blossomed into a star on Long Island.
