A veteran of 445 games in the National Hockey League after playing his junior hockey with both the Toronto Marlboros and London Nationals, Darryl Edestrand would suit up for the St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings in the NHL and twice play in the Stanley Cup Finals as a member of the Bruins. Offered here, and hailing from his final season of professional hockey, is this AHL Broome Dusters jersey donned by Edestrand during the 1979-80 season. A mesh construction offering made by Stall and Dean that was original part of the Dusters' jersey set of 1978-79 and recycled into the next season, brand, washing instructions, size "50" and an "8" (for 1978) year tag are all affixed to the inner collar while a dual garter style fight strap is retained on the interior. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Dusters team crest that has been applied in individually sewn on brown-over-yellow dual layer tackle twill letters, the other elements of the crest feature beautifully done chain-stitched details throughout their entirety. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Edestrand's number "21" in dual layer tackle twill numerals, "Edestrand" is spelt out in black vinyl letters that have been heat-pressed directly to the material at the top of the reverse. Sporting a vented collar, the white areas have turned a light reddish brown from being washed incorrectly. Exhibiting heavy game-wear throughout its entirety, the right sleeve shows eleven (11) team repairs as well as stick marks, board burns and coloured paint transfers while the left sleeve shows three (3) team repairs, stick marks and board burns. Additionally, the front shows a team repair from the base of the collar to the top of the crest, stick marks and coloured paint transfers while the reverse sports a couple of team repairs also. Also exhibiting pilling on the interior, the jersey comes accompanied by a MeiGray LOA and COR.
