This home white mesh gamer by CCM was worn by Pat Flatley during the 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs and Finals during Flatley’s rookie season. The New York Islanders selected Flatley in the 1st round of the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. After playing his college hockey at the University of Wisconsin, Flatley began his NHL career with the Islanders in 1983-84. Later that spring he made his only trip to the Cup Finals as the Islanders fell shy in their “Drive For Five”. During that season’s exciting playoff run, this rookie put up 9 goals and 15 points in the Islanders 21 playoff games. Flatley spent the first 13 years of a 14-year NHL career on Long Island, before spending a final season with the crosstown rival New York Rangers prior to retiring in 1997. Flatley, the 5th Captain in franchise history, was enshrined to the Islanders Hall of Fame in 2012.
Sewn into the collar of this gamer is the born on date tag that reads “04-84”. The game wear on this size 52 sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, washed out bloodstains, staining, fine inner pilling and a couple of team-sewn repairs. Shown above are a couple of beautiful photo matches of Flatley wearing this exact jersey during the 1984 Stanley Cup Semi-Finals and Finals. On the crest is a beautiful signature in Flatley’s own hand. On the left breast is a beautiful black sharpie signature by Hall of famer Mike Bossy. Flatley put forth one of the great playoff performances by a rookie as he scored on his first ever playoff shot and netted a total of 9 goals and 15 points on the Islanders 1984 “Drive For Five”. A terrific photo matched rookie sweater, featuring the player number “8” and hailing from the 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs and Finals.
