This home white air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Rich Sutter during the 1993-94 NHL season. The Pittsburgh Penguins selected Sutter with the 10th overall pick in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. He spent a total of 9 games in Pittsburgh before joining his twin brother Ron in Philadelphia in 1983-84. Rich would play for 3 years in Philadelphia, taking a trip to the Finals in year 2, before a deal sent him to Vancouver in 1986-87. After 4 years with the Canucks, Sutter joined the St. Louis Blues for 3+ seasons before a brief year + with the Chicago Blackhawks and brief stays with Toronto and Tampa. Rich played in a total of 874 NHL games over the course of 13 seasons. During that span he spent 1411 PIMS in the sin bin after stringing together 9 consecutive triple digit PIM years.

The game wear on this 2nd set size 54 sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, inner pilling and more than a handful of team-sewn repairs. Affixed to the inside is the Sports Registry tag. A well-worn example from Sutter’s brief time with the Hawks and hailing from the team’s first set of air-knit gamers.
