1991-92 John Tanner Game-Worn Road Jersey
John P. Tanner, born March 17, 1971 in Cambridge, Ontario, was drafted out of the OHL's Peterborough Petes 54th overall by the Quebec Nordiques in 1989. Enjoying a strong junior career, he made the transition to the NHL for one game during the 1989-90 season, however he remained in the OHL for the majority of the season. He split the 1990-91 season with the OHL's London Knights and Sudbury Wolves, but also got to play in an additional 6 games with the Nordiques that year. He finally made the full transition to pro hockey in the 1991-92 season, splitting the year with the Halifax Citadels of the AHL and the Quebec Nordiques of the NHL. He went on to appear in 14 games that year, the final NHL games of his career. In his short 21 game NHL career, Tanner recorded a 2-11-5 record with one shutout, a 3.60GAA, and a 0.883% save average. He continued to play hockey professionally with the AHL, IHL, and ECHL before officially calling it quits after the 1996-97 season.
