This home white knit gamer by Bauer was worn by Randy Velischek during the 1994-95 IHL season. The Minnesota North Stars selected Velischek in the 3rd round of the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. This native of Montreal played 4 years of college hockey at Providence before graduating in 1983. Velischek made his NHL debut in the spring of 1983 with the North Stars where he played for 3 seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils in 1985. Randy spent 5 years on the Devils blueline before playing the final 2 years of his 10-year NHL career with the Quebec Nordiques. Velischek continued his career post NHL in the AHL and IHL where he played for 4 more seasons representing the Halifax Citadels, the Cornwall Aces and the Milwaukee Admirals before announcing his retirement in 1995.

Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the IHL’s 50-year anniversary patch. The game wear on this size 54 sweater is solid and consists of numerous stick and slash marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes and fine inner pilling. A well-worn anniversary patched offering from Velischek’s final professional season.
