Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
A veteran of 881 games played in the National Hockey League despite going undrafted, Brian Skrudland would hoist Lord Stanley's coveted cup twice during that time, in 1986 with the Montreal Canadiens and in 1999 with the Dallas Stars. Moving to the expansion Florida Panthers for the 1993-94 season and spending four (4) years with the club, including the 1995-96 season that saw them make an improbable run to the Stanley Cup Finals, offered here we have this photo-matched Panthers jersey worn by Skrudland during the 1995-96 season. Made by CCM, both size "54" and CCM labels are affixed to the inner collar while the CCM and NHL shield logos have been embroidered into the rear hem. Decorated over the front with a Panthers team crest that features both embroidered and textured details, the jersey, worn during the regular season, was patched for the Finals as a back-up and displays a 1996 Stanley Cup Finals patch over the right breast while the distinguished captain's "C" has been added alongside it over the left side and matching alternate logo crests have been placed over both shoulders. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Skrudland's number "20" in dual layer white-over-navy tackle twill numerals, "Skrudland" is spelt out in single layer white tackle twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the back. Riddled with game-use, numerous stick marks and team repairs are found over the front and both sleeves while board burns grace each sleeve as well. Showing additional wear via a pair of small unrepaired holes through the first layer of fabric at the left elbow and at the right hip, more stick marks are seen over the reverse and some fabric pulls are observed over the front and reverse. Displaying pilling at the elbows on the interior and heavy salting/rusting to the fight strap, a 1995-96 Potvin Sports team stamp has been placed inside the reverse hem. Regarding the aforementioned photo-match, Getty Image #222833 (November 19th, 1995 vs Anaheim) has been matched to the now mostly washed out stick mark that is seen at the bottom of the "2" on the left sleeve. Hailing from his personal collection, an LOA signed by Skrudland will accompany the jersey.
