A product of St. Cloud State University who was drafted 198th overall by the St. Louis Blues at the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, Bret Hedican would go on to play a total of 1039 games in the National Hockey League with the likes of St. Louis, Vancouver, Florida, Carolina and Anaheim, winning a Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes in 2006. A two-time Olympian with Team USA, offered here is this Blues jersey worn by Hedican during his rookie season of 1992-93. Made by CCM, size "54" and Maska Air-Knit labels are affixed to the inner collar while the logos of both CCM and the NHL shield have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a familiar Blues team crest in layered tackle twill, a matching twill patch that has had "St. Louis" embroidered into it is sewn over the top portion while the Stanley Cup centennial patch that was worn by all the league's team's throughout the season is found over the right breast also. Of note, there is flaking to the yellow vinyl layer around the front crest. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Hedican's number "44" in layered tackle twill numerals, "Hedican" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Having had "23102" penned inside the reverse hem in black marker ink alongside the "1st Set 1992-93 Season" stamp from Custom Crafted, their logo appears embossed over the reverse hem also while a Blues hologram sticker is affixed inside the reverse hem as well. Displaying with good game-wear, stick marks appear over the front, reverse and both sleeves while both sleeves also board burns as well. With a board burn turned hole present over the lower front and coloured board paint transfer marks over the right sleeve and shoulder plus the reverse, staining is present throughout that is worth mentioning for accuracy. Finally, the jersey shows good pilling on the interior and retains its fight strap.
