A veteran of 18 NHL seasons split between the New Jersey Devils, Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, St. Louis Blues, San Jose Sharks, New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins, Bill Guerin was a two-time Stanley Cup champion and four-time NHL All-Star. A veteran of 1263 National Hockey League games after playing college hockey with the Boston College Eagles and being drafted 5th overall at the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils, offered here is this New York Islanders jersey worn by Guerin the night the franchise honored members that were apart of all four (4) Stanley Cup championships won by the Islanders in the early-1980s. Made by Reebok and sporting a lone size "58" label affixed to the inner collar, the logo crests of both the NHL and Reebok adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the faux tie-neck style garment with New York's familiar team crest that features embroidered details throughout its entirety, the distinguished captain's "C" is in place over the left breast along with the "Core of the Four - 25th Anniversary" patch that was worn during the game. Having had an alternate logo patch placed atop of the right shoulder, the right breast, sleeves and verso have been styled with Guerin's number "13" in dual layer navy-over-orange tackle twill numerals while "Guerin" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Worn for just a single game, the jersey shows game-wear via board burns and a couple of small unrepaired holes over the right sleeve while a thin dark stick mark is found in the "3" of the right sleeve as well. Retaining its fight strap on the interior and having had a MeiGray label numbered "E10576" sewn inside the reverse hem, the company's Population Report lists the jersey as being a "White - w/ 'Core of the Four 25th Anniversary' Patch w/C" offering. Regarding the photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #80094564 (March 2nd, 2008 vs Florida) to the placement and angling of "13" over the right breast. Signed by Guerin between the numbers on the reverse with a black marker ink signature that displays without issue, an Islanders COA will also accompany the piece.
