Developing in the Western Canadian Hockey League, now just the WHL, with single season stints with the Vancouver Nats, Kamloops Chiefs and Lethbridge Broncos between 1972 and 1975, Alec Tidey would go on to be drafted 143rd overall by the Buffalo Sabres at the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft. Also selected 85th overall at the 1975 WHA Amateur Draft, Tidey would play nine (9) NHL contests over the course of three (3) seasons while also suiting up for 74 games in the WHA as a member of the San Diego Mariners in 1975-76. Offered here, we present this Lethbridge Broncos jersey worn by Tidey during the 1974-75 season. Void of any tagging affixed to the inner collar though the outline of what is likely a previously sewn in Rawlings label is able to be made out, the jersey measures out to roughly a size "50". Decorated over the front with a Broncos team crest that has "Lethbridge Broncos" and a horse embroidered into it, 1975 Canada Games patches, an event hosted by the City of Lethbridge, are in place over both shoulders. Featuring "Tidey" spelt out in heat pressed yellow letters at the top of the reverse, the sleeves and verso have been styled with Alec's number "15" in dual layer white-over-yellow tackle twill numerals. Exhibiting heavy game-wear throughout its entirety including numerous team repairs of all sizes, including some that are backed by the heavy fabric of hockey socks, other battle scars are observed throughout in the form of dark stick marks, red board paint transfers, board burns, a small numbers of tiny unrepaired holes, some spot staining and good pilling on the interior, to which the original penny-style fight strap in no longer present in.
