This black hockey helmet by Mission was game worn by Alex Tanguay while playing for the Calgary Flames. The Colorado Avalanche selected Tanguay in the 1st round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. He joined the Avalanche organization late in the 1998-99 campaign when he appeared in 5 regular season and then 5 more playoff games with the Hershey Bears. Alex began his NHL career in 1999-00 with Colorado and spent the first 6 years of his career wearing the burgundy, blue and white colors of the Avalanche. During that span he won a Stanley Cup in only his 2nd NHL season, a year that saw him score 77 regular season points and 21 more in the playoffs. Tanguay has spent 4 of the last 6 seasons as a member of the Calgary Flames with single season stints in between with Montreal and Tampa. Thru the 2011-12 season, Tanguay had recorded an impressive 735 points in 882 career games and has also appeared in the NHL All Star game in representation of Colorado.
This black Mission helmet has the player number “40” on the back. The Flames name is on both sides while the Itech faceshield still resides on the front.
