Playing the entirety of his college hockey career with the University of Wisconsin Badgers and going on to be drafted 120th overall by the New York Rangers at the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, Tony Grantato would play a total of 774 games in the National Hockey League with the likes of New York, Los Angeles and San Jose while also representing Team USA on numerous occasions as well. Inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020 and most recently serving as the head coach for his alma mater, offered here is this Los Angeles Kings jersey issued to Granato for use during the 1995-96 season. Made by CCM and displaying washed out Maska Air-Knit and size "52" labels affixed to the inner collar, the logos of both the NHL shield and CCM have been embroidered into the reverse hem. A second set offering (the first set of jerseys worn that season were Ultrafil) with a Kings team tag reading "1995-96 Set 2" sewn inside the reverse hem, the front of the jersey is decorated with a Kings "Chevy" style team crest that features embroidered details throughout. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Granato's number "21" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals over the sleeves and verso, "Granato" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters that have been sewn directly to the material of the jersey across the top of the reverse. Retaining its original fight strap on the interior, Granato did not play in any games that season after January 27th, 1996 due to an injury and the jersey being offered shows no signs of game-wear. Remaining in excellent condition overall with no flaws to speak of, the jersey was originally offered to the public as part of the Kings' 1998 parking lot sale at the Forum in Los Angeles and was not accompanied by an LOA.
