This home white knit gamer by CCM and Eastside was worn by Darren Veitch during the 1986-87 NHL season. The Washington Capitals selected Veitch with the 5th overall pick in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. Veitch made his NHL debut with Washington in 1980-81 where he played 6 seasons before joining the Detroit Red Wings during the 1985-86 campaign. Darren spent 3 years in Detroit and a couple of final seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs to put a wrap on his 10-year NHL career.

The game wear on this sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, material pulls, pilling, a fight strap that has lost the battle to rust and 4 team-sewn repairs. Adding further appeal to this gamer is the retired player number 5, in honor of Red Wings legend, Niklas Lidstrom.
