This black alternate air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by John LeClair during the 1999-00 NHL season. With better than 400 goals to his credit, Leclair clearly established himself as one of the best power forwards of the 1990’s. Leclair, who is a St. Albans Vermont native, began his career with the Montreal Canadiens in 1991-92. During his second season in the league, John’s timely playoff scoring helped lead the underdog Canadiens to a Stanley Cup championship. John partook in numerous NHL All Star games and was 5-times either a 1st or 2nd team NHL All Star at Left Wing. After his trade to Philadelphia in 1994, Leclair formed a terrorizing duo on the Legion of Doom alongside Eric Lindros for much of the remainder of the 1990’s, wreaking havoc on opponents. He tabbed 50 goals in 3 consecutive seasons and followed them with a couple of 40-goal years before a back injury began taking its toll. Leclair represented Team USA in the 1996 World Cup of hockey, where he was voted a World Cup All Star, as well as in the Olympics. Also to his credit are 2 Bud Ice Plus/Minus awards.
Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the NHL’s year 2000 patch. The game wear on this size 56 alternate sweater consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, and inner pilling. Removed from the left breast of this jersey is the alternate Captain’s “A”. A nice patched offering of one of the Flyers best of the modern era and worn during the last 40-goal season of this perennial All Star’s career.
