Superb game-used jersey from the Heroes of Hockey game played as part of the NHL's All-Star weekend at Fleet Center in Boston was worn by Hall of Famer Henri Richard. White top has a large "HEROES NHL" crest sewn across the chest, with 52 size tag in collar, number 16 on both shoulders and back in black-on-orange tackle twill and name in black letters sewn to a plate above his number. Jersey shows light use consistent with one game of action in an "Old Timers Game" format. Though 60 years old at the time, Henri displayed his scoring touch of old, netting his last "goal" in an NHL uniform. Despite playing in the shadow of his brother, the iconic Maurice "the Rocket" Richard, Henri (known as the "Pocket Rocket") was no slouch in his own right, having his name engraved on the Stanley Cup an amazing 11 times as part of the Montreal Canadiens' mega-dynasty of the 1950s and '60s.
