This road blue mesh gamer by Sandow SK was worn by Larry Hopkins during the 1982-83 NHL season. The Atlanta Flames selected Hopkins in the 9th round of the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft. This Ontario native made his NHL debut in 1977-78 with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hopkins joined the Winnipeg Jets upon their entry to the NHL in 1979-80. He played for 3 seasons with Winnipeg before retiring in 1983.
The game wear on this size XL sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes and fine inner pilling. The original loop style fight strap remains sewn to the inside back player numbers with an additional skate lace tied through for good measure. A beautiful fresh to the hobby offering from the final year of this wingers’ brief NHL career.
