This road blue knit gamer by CCM was worn by Joe Rullier circa the 1996-98 QMJHL seasons. Rullier was a noted tough guy who enjoyed a lengthy professional career that began after four years of Junior Hockey with the Oceanic in the QMJHL. This Montreal native spent 9 seasons in the AHL while also playing in the ECHL, Europe and lastly in the Quebec Leagues. Joe compiled a single season best 322 PIMS in 2004-05 during his final season with the Manchester Monarchs.
The game wear on this size 56 sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes, a fight strap that has lost the battle to salt and rust, collar pilling and inner pilling. A nice offering from this enforcer’s rookie or sophomore season of Juniors.
