When the Canadiens traded Patrick Roy to Colorado in December 1995, they also sent team captain Mike Keane to the Avalanche in the blockbuster deal. As a result, Pierre Turgeon became the Habs’ captain as the days closed in on the closing of the Forum later that season. This gorgeous red #77 Canadiens jersey has the double-twill white and blue captain’s "C" sewn onto the left breast along with double-twill numbers on the back and each sleeve. Turgeon’s surname is spelled out in individual white twill letters sewn onto a red nameplate. Turgeon has signed in black marker the left side of the back of the jersey, which has its original fight strap, a size 54 fly tag and NHL Center Ice Authentic Collection tag in the neck. This sensational captain’s gamer exhibits light wear, with a puck mark and a couple of board burns on the right sleeve to note. An amazing collectors’ piece that will conjure up images of Turgeon carrying the torch from the Forum to the team’s new home, originally named the Molson Centre, in March 1996.
