This white air-knit gamer by Reebok was worn by Zack Kassian during the 2011-12 AHL season. The Buffalo Sabres selected Kassian in the 1st round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. After four seasons in the OHL, Kassian began his professional career in 2011 where he spent time with the AHL’s Portland Pirates and the Rochester Americans. His NHL debut came in 2011-12 with Buffalo where he played for 27 games before being dealt to the Vancouver Canucks later that same year. Kassian is a developing power forward who is now in his 5th season in the NHL.
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, areas of heavy pilling and several team-sewn repairs including a jumbo sized sew job on the back tail. Shown above are a couple of beautiful photo matches of Kassian wearing this exact jersey during the 2011-12 season. A terrific well-worn photo matched sweater from this 1st rounder’s pre NHL days. This jersey will be accompanied by an Americans team letter.
