The premier selection at the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Vincent Lecavalier spent 14 seasons with Tampa Bay winning a Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2004. Playing in 1212 National Hockey League games over the course of his lengthy career, wearing the colours of Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Los Angeles along the way, offered here is this Tampa Bay Lightning jersey worn by Lecavalier during the 2005-06 season, specifically on November 5th, 2005 against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 6th annual Hockey Hall of Fame game at the Air Canada Centre. Made by Reebok and featuring a lone size "58" label affixed to the inner collar, a Reebok logo patch has been added over the reverse neckline while the NHL shield has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Lightning team crest that features both embroidered and textured details, matching alternate logo patches have been placed over both shoulders. Styled over the sleeves and verso of the air-knit construction garment with Lecavalier's now retired number "4" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Lecavalier" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Having had the all-important Hockey Hall of Fame Game event patch added over the right breast and the distinguished alternate captain's "A" alongside it over the left breast, the jersey exhibits light but clear game-wear in the form of light stick marks and board burns over both sleeves while spot and sweat staining is seen in the same areas as well. Signed by Lecavalier over the reverse number "4" with a black marker ink signature that displays without issue, a Lightning team tag denoting the jersey as being from the Hall of Fame Game set is sewn inside the reverse hem, alongside a MeiGray tag numbered "C09009", which the company's population report lists as a "Black - HHOF Game 11/5/05 w/A" specimen. Accompanied by a matching LOA, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #56248374 (November 5th, 2005 vs Toronto - HHOF Game) to the extra bit of stitching at the left side of the "C" in "Lecavalier" on the upper reverse.
