This road blue knit gamer by SP was worn by Francis Belanger during the 2000-01 AHL season. The Philadelphia Flyers selected Belanger in the 5th round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. Belanger made his NHL debut with the Montreal Canadiens in 2000-01, the only year of his NHL career. Otherwise this enforcer played in the AHL, ECHL, UHL and LNAH.
Sewn to the right breast of this gamer is the sponsorship patch. The game wear on this size 56 sweater is solid and consists of stick and slash marks, board burns, board paint transfer, un-repaired burn holes, pulls, general filth and heavy inner pilling. Belanger racked up 15 goals and 101 PIMS in 22 games with the Citadelles while wearing this sweater during the 2000-01 season as he ventured between the AHL and NHL call-ups with Montreal.
