This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Jeff Hackett during the 1993-94 NHL season. The New York Islanders selected Hackett in the 2nd round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. Jeff broke onto the scene with the Islanders in 1988-89 and spent a couple of seasons with the team before joining the San Jose Sharks where he spent 2 more years. Hackett joined the Chicago Blackhawks in 1993-94 and spent the next 5+ seasons with the club. During that span, Jeff put up some terrific statistical seasons that included consecutive GAA’s of 2.38, 2.40, 2.16 and a 2.20 in 1997-98 while playing in a career best 58 games. Early in the 1998-99 season, the Hawks and Habs pulled off a blockbuster that had Hackett and Weinrich going to Montreal in exchange for Thibault and Manson. Jeff would spend most of the next 5 seasons with the Canadiens where, in his early years with the club, he continued his strong play between the pipes before eventually finishing his career with stints in Boston and Philadelphia.

The 1993-94 season was Hackett’s first of 6 years with the Blackhawks. Offered here is Hackett’s home sweater from the first ever set of air-knits worn in team history. The game wear on this 2nd set size 56 goalie cut sweater consists of stick and puck marks, goal post paint transfer, pulls, a salted fight strap and areas of pilling. On the inside is the Sports Registry barcode as well as a black sharpie notation with the initials CHA. This jersey will be accompanied by a Blackhawks team letter.
