A stalwart defender and eleven-time NHL All-Star, Marcel Pronovost saw action in over 1,200 games in the world’s best league, with four Stanley Cup championships won representing Detroit. The longtime NHL scout was also a member of the famous Toronto Maple Leafs squad that captured the franchise’s most recent championship, in 1967. We have a desirable Leafs jersey worn by the superstar near the end of his illustrious career, in the late-1960s. A rolled “46” size tag remains affixed to the collar, with a General Athletic laundering label situated near the inside seam. Styled with the classic Leafs team crest with “Toronto Maple Leafs” embroidered, “3” appears over the sleeves and verso in single white twill. White striping bands also reside over the sleeves and waist of the durene knit jersey, with six eyelet configuration on tie-neck construction. Likely gifted by the Leafs to a minor hockey or lacrosse team as was customary for the franchise during the era, we should note that some of the wear present originates from later use.
With the jersey dating from the 1967-68 to 1969-70 time period, Pronovost played a full season with the Leafs in 1967-68, 34 games in 1968-69 and 7 games in his last season, in 1969-70, with Ken Murray listed as wearing the #3 jersey and playing a single game that season. The collar has been ventilated with no tie-string remaining, with a few small marks/stains over the team crest along with a minor diminutive tear. There is moderate to heavier wear to the material over the sleeves, with four holes on the left sleeve and one on the right, along with small individual holes near the team crest and over the right side of the reverse. There is also a large team repair over the reverse, to the right of the number.
