This black air-knit gamer by SP was worn by Jerry Keefe during the 1999-00 ECHL season. Keefe, a native of Billerica, MA graduated from Providence College in 2000. He began his minor-pro career immediately thereafter, representing Cincinnati, Trenton, Atlantic City, Orlando and Charlotte as well as Belfast and Cardiff overseas. After retiring in 2004, Keefe took up coaching and has spent 8 seasons behind the bench representing UMASS-Boston, Brown University and Northeastern University.
The game wear on this size 54 sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, stitch pops and inner pilling. Evidence of a plate change exists while a beautiful bold black sharpie signature resides on the upper verso in Keefe’s own hand.
