Joel Quenneville arrived in Colorado midway through the 1979-80
season after being traded by the Maple Leafs general manager Punch Imlach
along with popular winger Lanny McDonald to the Rockies for Wilf
Paiement and Pat Hickey. Quenneville’s road, blue Champion
manufactured jersey is from that first year in Denver. With all heat-
pressed numbers and logo, this blue mesh exhibits solid use with
Quenneville’s name heat-pressed on to a blue heavy knit nameplate
that is sewn to the back above the #22. Champion size 48 collar
tagging and a metal clip style inside the back. One repair on the
left sleeve. Four repairs on the back with another three repairs
above the bottom yellow stripe with mesh backing. Another triangular
repair on the front right. Stick marks everywhere on the front
including a few that gash the rocky mountain logo. Un-repaired holes
on the sleeves, front, and back. Nice pilling inside the elbow areas.
Jeff Larmer, the younger brother of Chicago Black Hawks great Steve
Larmer, was chosen 129th overall by the Colorado Rockies in 1981 and
recorded consecutive 50-goal seasons his last two years of junior.
Playing eight games with the NHL club in 1981-82 allowed him to put
solid use on this road, blue Sandow jersey. All sewn-on two color
numbers and crest and a heat-pressed name on a blue knit nameplate.

Large - Tres Grande in the collar with a small loop style fight strap

the right sleeve and #4 on the left sleeve. Two repairs to mention on
the left sleeve also. A rugged Rocky Mountain pair.
