This road blue knit gamer by CCM and Syosset Sports was worn by Pat Flatley during the 1986-87 NHL 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.

The game wear on this sweater is solid and consists of numerous stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, trauma, material pulls, inner pilling and a team-sewn repair. A well-worn vintage offering from the pre-Captain days of this New York Islanders Hall of Famer.
