Colorado Avalanche Claude Lemieux 1996 Stanley Cup Finals NHL Hockey Jersey

Size: 52 (XL)

Brand/Model: Starter Mesh Authentic

Condition: 8/10. Slight wear on the numbers, but overall in great gently worn condition.

Known as one of the greatest playoff performers of all time, Claude Lemieux’s 80 playoff goals are still 9th most in NHL history. Lemieux became a Colorado fan favorite immediately as he helped the Avs win the Cup in their first season. Lemieux is also known for sparking the bitter rivalry between the Avs and Red Wings that started in the mid-90s after Lemieux committed a controversial hit from behind on the Red Wings’ Kris Draper during the 1996 Western Conference Finals. The rivalry would continue to be fierce through the mid-2000s as both teams were consistently in the Cup hunt and often met in the playoffs.

This mesh authentic is specific to the 1995-96 season due to the unique one-year version of the Starter logo on the rear hem. This jersey also comes complete with 1996 Stanley Cup Finals patch as the Avs wore when they lifted the Cup in ‘96! If you need this piece of Avs history in your collection, snipe it now before someone else does!
