This home white air-knit gamer by Nike was worn by Mark Fitzpatrick during the 1998-99 NHL season. The Los Angeles Kings selected Fitzpatrick in the 2nd round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. He began his career with the Kings in 1988-89 and was traded to the Islanders later that same year. Mark spent the next 5 years with the Islanders and was part of the team that eliminated the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins in the 1993 playoffs. In 1993-94 Fitzpatrick joined the expansion Florida Panthers, where he tended goal for parts of the next 5 seasons. He finished up his 12-year NHL career with stops in Tampa Bay, Chicago and Carolina. Fitzpatrick was the recipient of the 1991-92 Bill Masterton Trophy.
Worn during Fitzpatrick’s only season with the Hawks, the game wear on this size 58 goalie cut sweater is solid and consists of stick and puck marks, goal post paint transfer, board paint transfer, pulls, heavy areas of pilling and a team-sewn repair to the front of the collar. Affixed to the inside is the official Chicago Blackhawks inventory number.
