1984-86 Kelly Hrudey Game Worn Road Jersey NOBR
*playoff debut jersey
Kelly Stephen Hrudey was born on January 13, 1961 in Edmonton, Alberta. Boasting a decent junior career with the Medicine Hat Tigers, Hrudey was chosen 38th overall by the New York Islanders in 1980. He made his NHL debut in the 1983-84 season on October 8, 1983, posting a win after replacing Rollie Melanson in an 8-7 victory over the Jets. He remained with the Islanders as a number one goalie until 1988-89, when he was traded to the Kings. There, he maintained his starter status, even leading them to the Cup Final in 1992-93. In the 1996 off-season, Hrudey was signed by the San Jose Sharks where he played an additional two years before retiring from play. In his NHL career, Hrudey played in 677 games and recorded a 271-265-88 record with 17 shutouts, a 3.43GAA, and a 0.893 save average. In addition, he appeared in 85 playoff games and recorded a 36-46 record with a 3.29GAA and 0.891 save average.
This sweater first began use in the 1984-85 season New York Islanders as a road jersey used by Kelly Hrudey from January 1985 until the end of the playoffs. It was worn in his fight with John Vanbiesbrouck on February 17, 1985 among many other games that year for a total of 11 regular season games and 3 playoff games. It is definitively photomatched to his playoff debut, an April 11, 1985 playoff game against Washington in which Kelly took his team to a double overtime loss. Hrudey also wore this sweater in two games in the next round against Pelle Lindbergh and the Philadelphia Flyers. It was then re-used into the 1985-86 season, being photomatched to a March 1986 contest against Toronto. The wear is a testament to this high flying, high scoring era of hockey. Heavy puck marks on the crest and on the arms, three team repairs and multiple unrepaired holes adorn the sweater. The nameplate was removed and recycled by the team!
