This home green air-knit gamer by Reebok was worn by Sergei Gonchar during the 2013-14 NHL season. Gonchar was a 20-year NHL veteran who was among the steadiest defenseman of his generation. He spent the first 10 seasons of his career in Washington where he was consistently among the goal leaders of all NHL defensemen. After a short stop in Boston, Sergei joined the Penguins where he prospered for 5 years. Gonchar then inked a 3-year deal with the Senators before joining the Dallas Stars for a couple of seasons and he completed his playing days in Montreal. During his career he made three trips to the Cup Finals, once with Washington and twice with the Penguins where he walked away victorious in 2009. Sergei represented Team Russia in two World Cups of Hockey, numerous World Championships and in three Olympics. He is a two-time 2nd Team NHL All Star and partook in five NHL All Star games.
The game wear on this 1st set size 58 sweater consists of stick marks, board burns, board paint transfer, inner pilling and a handful of team-sewn repairs. Shown above is a beautiful photo match of Gonchar wearing this exact jersey during the 2013-14 season. Sewn to the inside hem is the official NHL game worn jersey tagging. A nice photo matched offering from this All Star’s first season in Dallas. This jersey will be accompanied by a Stars team letter.
