This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Craig Janney during the 1989-90 NHL season. The Boston Bruins selected Janney in the 1st round of the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. After spending time at Boston College and with the U.S. National Team, this Hartford, CT native made his NHL debut in 1987-88 with the Bruins. Craig would spend parts of five seasons in Boston where he went to two Stanley Cup Finals in his first three years in the league while centering for Cam Neely. Janney was dealt to the St. Louis Blues during the 1991-92 season in exchange for Adam Oates and then spent parts of four years in St. Louis setting up Brett Hull. He would finish his career with stints in San Jose, Winnipeg, Phoenix, Tampa Bay and the Islanders. In 760 games played, Janney scored 751-points over the course of his 12-year NHL career. His career best season came with the Blues in 1992-93, when he assisted on 82 goals and tallied 106 points. Janney represented Team USA in the World Championships, the 1988 Olympics and the 1991 Canada Cup. Janney was recently inducted to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
Proudly sewn to the left breast of this gamer is the alternate Captain’s “A”. The game wear on this sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, fine inner pilling and more than a handful of team-sewn repairs. The Bruins of course trekked to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in three seasons in the spring of 1990. After playing in just 55 regular season games which saw him score an impressive 24 goals and 62 points, Janney added another 22 points in 18 playoff games as the Bruins fell just short to the Edmonton Oilers Dynasty. A well-worn example, complete with the coveted letter of honor and hails from perhaps the most exciting season of the Bourque and Neely era in Boston.
