This home white mesh and knit gamer by Champion was worn by Doug Favell during the 1976-77 NHL season, the inaugural year for the Colorado Rockies franchise. This Goalie hailing from St. Catharines made his NHL debut in 1967-68 with the expansion Philadelphia Flyers. Favell stood between the pipes in Philly for 6 seasons before spending three years with the Maple Leafs and a final three seasons with the Rockies. All told, this Goalie spent 12 seasons in the NHL.
Sewn into the collar of this gamer is the Champion tag. The game wear on this sweater consists of stick, slash and puck marks, goal post paint transfer and pilling both inside and out. Doug appeared in 30 games between the pipes in 1976-77 for the Rockies. An exciting piece of Colorado Rockies history that hails from their inaugural season.
