This white air-knit jersey was manufactured by CCM. The Pittsburgh Penguins selected Recchi in the 4th round of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft. Recchi made his NHL debut in 1988-89 as a member of the Penguins where he would soon after team with Mario and company to capture the 1991 Stanley Cup, the first in franchise history. At the trading deadline of the following season, as the Pens were embarking on their 2nd Stanley Cup run, Recchi was dealt to the Flyers in exchange for Rick Tocchet.
Mark represented Philadelphia for parts of four seasons, where he teamed with a young Eric Lindros to form one of the deadliest duos in the sport before heading to the Montreal Canadiens in yet another blockbuster deal. Following five years with Les Habitants, Recchi returned to Philadelphia where he played for another 6 seasons. His next NHL stop took him back to Pittsburgh before a deadline deal in 2006 proved fruitful for the veteran winger, as he captured his 2nd Stanley Cup while on loan to the Carolina Hurricanes before returning to Pittsburgh. After leaving the Penguins in 2007-08, Recchi played for the Atlanta Thrashers, the Tampa Bay Lightning and finally the Boston Bruins for his last three seasons. In Mark’s final NHL game, he hoisted the Stanley Cup for a 3rd time while playing on his 3rd different team. In a career that spanned 1652 games, Recchi tallied 1533 points and lit the lamp a resounding 577 times. Recchi ranks 6th all time in NHL games played. He played in 7 NHL All Star Games and was named 2nd Team NHL All Star at Right Wing in 1992. Recchi was deservingly inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame with the class of 2017.
This white Canadiens jersey, size 52, has the player name “Recchi” on the back. The player number “8” is on both sleeves and the back. The alternate captain’s “A” resides on the left breast. The jersey does show some wear.
