This teal knit gamer by CCM was worn by Mark Recchi during the 1994 NHL All Star Game. The Pittsburgh Penguins selected Recchi in the 4th round of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft. Recchi began his NHL career in 1988-89 as a member of the Penguins. He would soon after team with Mario and company to capture the 1991 Stanley Cup. At the trading deadline of the following season, as the Pens were embarking on their 2nd Stanley Cup run, Rex was dealt to the Flyers in exchange for Rick Tocchet.
Mark would next represent Philadelphia for parts of 4 seasons, where he teamed with a young Eric Lindros to form one of the deadliest duos in the sport before heading to the Montreal Canadiens in yet another blockbuster deal. Following 5 years with Les Habitants, Recchi returned to Philly where he played for another 6 seasons. His next stop was back to where it all began, the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, a deadline deal in 2006 proved fruitful for the veteran winger, as he captured his 2nd Stanley Cup while on loan to the Carolina Hurricanes. Since leaving the Pens in 2007-08, Rex played for the Thrashers, Lightning and most recently the Boston Bruins for his last 3 seasons, where, in his final game, he hoisted the Stanley Cup for a 3rd time on his 3rd different team. In a career that spanned 1652 games, Recchi tallied 1533 points and lit the lamp a resounding 577 times. Rex is 5th all time in NHL games played. He played in 7 NHL All Star games and was named 2nd Team NHL All Star at right wing in 1992. A spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame no doubt awaits this 50-goal sniper upon eligibility.
Sewn to the shoulders of this gamer are the 1994 Madison Square Garden, New York City All Star Game patches. Typical light All Star Game usage exists on this size 52 sweater. Recchi has penned a beautiful black sharpie signature alongside the back player number. Affixed to the inside hem is the official Upper Deck hologram, bearing official alphanumeric identification. Sweet offering from the era that “Rex” teamed with Eric Lindros to form the “Crazy Eights”.
