This home white mesh gamer by Pedersons was worn by Tom McCarthy during the 1983-84 NHL season. The Minnesota North Stars selected McCarthy with the 10th overall pick in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft. This Toronto native made his debut in 1979-80 and remained with the North Stars for 7 seasons before finishing his career with the Boston Bruins where he played for 2 years. McCarthy was twice a 30-goal man, netting a career best 39 with Minnesota in 1983-84. Tom played in the 1983 NHL All Star game and was part of the North Stars magical and improbable run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1981.
The game wear on this sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, fine inner pilling and a couple of handfuls of team-sewn repairs. A beautiful well-worn fresh to the hobby example from one of the best talents to don a North Stars uniform.
