This home gold knit gamer by CCM was worn by Denis Larocque during the 1987-88 NHL season, his rookie year. The Los Angeles Kings selected Larocque in the 3rd round of the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. This Hawkesbury, ONT native made his NHL debut in 1987-88 with the Kings where he appeared in the only 8 games of his NHL career. This tough guy also spent a handful of seasons in the AHL and IHL while also playing in the CoHL and the ECHL before retiring in 1993.
The game wear on this sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, stitch pops and inner pilling. Larocque notably took on Bob Probert at the Forum in LA, a screen capture is shown above from the fight. A tough to find purple and gold rookie sweater from the brief NHL career of this brawler.
