This black alternate air-knit gamer by Nike was worn by Jeff Hackett during the 1998-99 NHL season. The New York Islanders selected Hackett in the 2nd round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. Jeff broke onto the scene with the Islanders in 1988-89 and spent a couple of seasons with the team before joining the San Jose Sharks where he spent 2 more years. Hackett joined the Chicago Blackhawks in 1993-94 and spent the next 5+ seasons with the club. During that span, Jeff put up some terrific statistical seasons that included consecutive GAA’s of 2.38, 2.40, 2.16 and a 2.20 in 1997-98 while playing in a career best 58 games. Early in the 1998-99 season, the Hawks and Habs pulled off a blockbuster that had Hackett and Weinrich going to Montreal in exchange for Thibault and Manson. Jeff would spend most of the next 5 seasons with the Canadiens where, in his early years with the club, he continued his strong play between the pipes before eventually finishing his career with stints in Boston and Philadelphia.

Worn during his last season in Chicago prior to being dealt to the Canadiens, the game wear on this size 58 goalie cut sweater is on the lighter side and consists of stick and puck marks, crossbar paint transfer, inner pilling as well as noticeable pilling at the end of both sleeve cuffs from Jeff’s goalie gloves. This jersey will be accompanied by a Blackhawks team letter.
