This white air-knit gamer by Nike was worn by Mike McBain during the 1996 World Junior Championships in Boston. The Tampa Bay Lightning selected McBain in the 2nd round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. McBain made his NHL debut in 1997-98 with the Bolts where he played for 2 seasons. After his time in the NHL, McBain went on to a productive minor-pro career, playing mainly in the IHL, AHL and ECHL.
The game wear on this size 56 sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, pulls, inner pilling, areas of heavy bloodstaining and a massive team-sewn repair job that runs from the front collar all the way to the hem as we surmise the jersey was cut away from McBain after suffering an on ice injury. Shown above are a couple of photos of McBain wearing this exact jersey during the 1996 World Jr. Championships. A nice Team USA offering.
