Turning to coaching after his playing career, Sandy McCarthy appeared for seven different NHL clubs over his 11-season career, including Boston, Calgary and Tampa Bay. Registering 1534 minutes in penalties over the course of 736 games played in the show, up for grabs here is this Calgary Flames jersey worn by McCarthy during the training camp and pre-season of his rookie year in the NHL. Made by CCM with both the CCM and NHL shield logos embroidered over the reverse hem, a single Maska tag displaying a handwritten and washed out “52” size designation is affixed to the inner collar. Decorated over the front with Calgary’s flaming “C” team crest in tri-layer stacked satin twill, the sleeves and verso have had McCarthy’s number “15” sewn to them in matching style. Though the nameplate has been removed from the upper back, evidence of its existence is still able to be seen while game-use is observed in the form of stick marks over the lower front, reverse and left sleeve. Additional wear is exhibition via a small unrepaired cut on the right sleeve, pilling on the interior at the right elbow and the collar, salting to the fight strap snaps and puckering throughout the crest and numbers from multiple washings. Lastly, a Flames team stamp denoting the jersey as a “1993 Training Camp White Preseason Jersey” is found over the inner reverse hem and McCarthy has signed the back number “5” with a black ink signature that displays with just some light fading from age. Obtained directly from the Flames equipment manager at the time, McCarthy has added the number “10” to his autograph, the number he wore during the 1992-93 season with Calgary's farm team, the Salt Lake Golden Eagles, Instead of the the number "15" that he is known for wearing during his time in the Stampede City
