By the time the 1996-97 season began, Stevenson had emerged as one of the leaders on and off the ice for the Canadiens and gave his all that year with 21 points over 65 appearances. Offered in this lot is a battle-worn circa 1996-97 size 56 CCM home white game-used Montreal Canadiens jersey which features the added cachet of an assistant captain’s “A” on the upper left. To say that Stevenson put this jersey through some wars is an understatement as there is a large unrepaired slash on the back hem in the lower left along with a small team repair toward the middle back in the blue band and an unrepaired slash in the red section. A large black mark appears on the lower middle front and some pilling does show up close to it. There are a couple of few more marks on the lower area, most notably on the lower right hem. A team repair appears on the cuff of the right arm and another shows up on the white area below the number 3 and a long black mark. Toward the right elbow, there are two spots of red paint transfer, more black marking appears and there is a small stain. The left arm is just as compelling with two significant team repairs near the 3 and another team repair near the zero, additional pilling, and more black marks plus red paint transfer at the elbow. A board burn appears on the back of the right shoulder. We also see another instance of red paint transfer on the back middle left along with a large black streak below a small unrepaired hole on the right. The large CCM collar tag has been removed, but there is evidence that it was there in the past. However, the sizing tag does remain intact. Another intriguing aspect of this jersey is the customization which appears at the back of the neck. Finally, at the back of the bottom hem, there is a CCM logo along with the NHL shield. Obtained directly from the Montreal Canadiens, a Classic Auctions LOA will accompany. Overall, this jersey is a fine example of what a hockey player puts themselves through!
