Finally finding a home at Northeastern University in the NCAA, Marc Robitaille would backstop the Huskies for two seasons from 1996 to 1998, leading them to their first 20-win season in a decade in 1997-98 and being named an all-American. Offered a contract by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Robitaille would play two seasons with their AHL affiliate in St. John’s between 1998 and 2000 before retiring at the age of 23. Up for grabs here, is this St. John’s Maple Leafs jersey worn by Robitaille during the 1999-2000 season. Made by Bauer with both brand and size “58G” labeling affixed to the inner collar, both the Bauer logo and AHL league crest are found embroidered/sewn over the rear hem with an additional AHL patch over the rear neckline. Decorated over the front with the Maple Leafs team crest with “St. John’s Maple Leafs” embroidered into it, an additional Bauer logo is embroidered over the left collar bone while a Dodge sponsorship patch sits over the right breast. Additionally, the all-important final season of St John's Memorial Stadium Patch is sewn over the left breast and matching alternate logo crests have been added to each shoulder. The sleeves and verso have been accented with Robitaille's number “31” in single layer blue twill numerals while “Robitaille” is spelt out in matching style across the affixed matching nameplate. Showing good game-wear in the form of numerous puck marks throughout as well as red post paint transfer on the back of both elbows and a blue paint transfer at the lower front, it should be noted that numerous stains are observed over the entirety of the jersey. A team tag denoting the jersey as a “Game Worn Limited Edition” offering is sewn inside the rear hem and is accompanied by a matching LOA.
