Spending four seasons in Ontario with the London Knights beginning in 1976-77, Dino Ciccarelli helped lead the club to runner-up in the league championship his first season. Going undrafted to the National Hockey League despite posting 346 points over the course of 226 games played but still going on to forge a Hockey Hall of Fame worthy career that saw him slam over 600 goals into the back of opponent nets, offered here is this London Knights jersey worn by Ciccarelli circa 1977-78 - a season he outscored a young player for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds named Wayne Gretzky by 2 goals. A Wilson made durene knit garment that is now void of its collar tagging but still shows the outline of its former placement on the reverse neckline, the bright green jersey measures out to roughly a modern size "50". Decorated over the front with a Knights team crest in layered tackle twill that features chain-stitched detailing throughout its entirety, Dino's number "8" has been sewn to the sleeves and verso in dual layer white-over-yellow tackle twill numerals while no nameplate graces the top of the reverse. Of note, some of the stitching at the right side of the crest has let go as well as at the top of the "8" on the right sleeve and left side of the "8" on the reverse. Additionally, both sleeve numbers show signs of having been hastily restitched down by team trainers. Exhibiting excellent game-wear throughout the entirety of the piece including good pilling on the interior, heavy amounts of board burns and stick marks are observed over both the sleeves, the shoulders and the body of the piece while team repairs totalling 20+ by our count are seen throughout the entirety of the piece as well. Also sporting unrepaired holes in the right sleeve and right shoulder with the largeet repairs present over the lower front and on the reverse, the ends of both sleeves show heavy pilling and fraying while no fight strap is present on the interior. Of note, both the sleeves and body of the jersey have been hemmed to Ciccarelli's liking. Hailing from his personal collection, a signed LOA from Dino Ciccarelli will accompany.
