Mike Bossy’s Iconic New York Islanders Jersey: A Tribute to a Hockey Legend

A Legendary Career in the NHL

Drafted 15th overall in the 1977 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders, the late Mike Bossy embarked on a remarkable ten-year career, solidifying his status as one of the most talented snipers in the history of hockey. Bossy was the first Islander to achieve the milestone of scoring 500 goals and 1,000 points, a testament to his exceptional skill and dedication to the sport.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This extraordinary piece of hockey memorabilia is a testament to Bossy’s legacy. Inside, beneath the collar, lies the Pederson’s manufacturer’s tag, with the number “22” handwritten in black marker. The front proudly displays the Islanders team logo crest, while the player number “22” is emblazoned on both sleeves and the back in blue on orange tackle twill. Across the back, on a white nameplate, the player name “BOSSY” is elegantly stitched in blue tackle twill.

Signs of a Well-Fought Career

The jersey bears the marks of Bossy’s fierce competitiveness and dedication on the ice. Heavy wear is evident, with puck and stick marks, team repairs, board burns, and loose threads adorning the front, rear body, and both sleeves. These signs of wear are not just blemishes; they are badges of honor, telling the story of a player who gave his all for his team.
