This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Kevin Dineen during the 1992-93 NHL season. The Hartford Whalers selected Dineen in the 3rd round of the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. After playing his college hockey at the University of Denver, Dineen began his NHL career in 1984 with the Whalers, a franchise he called home for parts of 10 years in the league. A deal during the 1991-92 season sent Kevin to Philadelphia. He would remain with the Flyers into the 1995-96 season before being returned to Hartford. Kevin moved with the franchise to Carolina and spent 2 seasons with the Canes before 1-year in Ottawa and a final 3 in Columbus. All told Dineen played in parts of 19 different seasons, compiling 1188 games. He would net 355 goals and accumulate 2229 PIMS during that span. Kevin was twice a 40-goal man with a career best coming in 1988-89 in Hartford as he rang up 45. Kevin played in 2 NHL All Star games during his career and was the 1991 Bud Light NHL Man of the Year Award winner. Since retiring, Kevin spent 6 seasons behind the bench of the Portland Pirates where he led his team to 6-consecutive winning seasons and most recently was found as the Head Coach of the Florida Panthers, a role he held for 3 years.
Proudly sewn to the left breast is the alternate Captain’s “A”. Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the NHL’s 100-year Stanley Cup anniversary patch. The game wear on this size 50 sweater is solid and consists of numerous stick and slash marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes and fine inner pilling. A black sharpie signature in Dineen’s own hand can be found on the left breast of this gamer, alongside the alternate Captain’s “A”. A fine looking example that will please the most ardent Flyers collector.
