This white knit gamer by CCM was worn by Joe Sakic during the 1991-92 NHL All Star game in Philadelphia. Sakic is compiling staggering career statistics, already which place him among the game’s all-time elite. Joe is solidly over the 600-goal mark and has in excess of 1600 career points, which place him top 10 in the history of the sport. His playoff totals are no less impresssive, having produced better than a point per game while nearing in on the 200 point mark for his career, placing him in rare company.
Joe’s hardware includes the Lester B. Pearson award as the NHL’s outstanding player, the Lady Byng trophy for the combination of sportsmanship and high ability, the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP and the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP. He was also the winner of an Olympic Gold Medal in addition to 2 Stanley Cup rings. Spending an entire career as part of one franchise is a rarity in today’s era. Joe has now served the Quebec/Colorado franchise with 18 years of quality service, and is still performing at an elite level of play as is evidenced by his point per game pace this season. This man is already assured of a place among the all-time greats in the Hockey Hall of Fame, all that is left for us to do is watch and enjoy his artistry.
Sewn to the right breast of this sweater is the 75-year NHL anniversary patch. The NHL reverted to the Turn Back the Clock style uniforms for the 1991-92 All Star game contest. On the inside of the crest is a black sharpie signature in Sakic’s own hand. Game use is light which is typical of an All Star gamer.
