This home white mesh gamer by CCM and Sandow SK was worn by Al Macinnis during the 1983-84 NHL season, his rookie year. The Calgary Flames selected Macinnis in the 1st round of the 1981 NHL Entry Draft. Macinnis thus began an extraordinary NHL career that spanned 23 seasons and 1416 games. Al spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Flames and then completed his career with 10 seasons as a member of the St. Louis Blues. Macinnis scored 340 goals, thanks in large part to his booming slap shot that was often clocked at 100MPH. He added an impressive 934 assists, giving him a total of 1274 career points, good for 3rd on the all-time scoring list for defenseman. Macinnis won the 1999 Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman and the 1989 Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP, as he led his Calgary Flames to the first Stanley Cup title in team history. Al was 7-times a 1st or 2nd team NHL All Star and played in double-digit NHL All Star games on his way to a 2007 Hall of Fame induction.
