Mario Lemieux’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Hockey Greatness

A Legendary Career

Mario Lemieux, affectionately known as “Super Mario,” is a name that resonates with reverence in the world of hockey. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997, Lemieux’s career is a tapestry of extraordinary achievements. He led the Pittsburgh Penguins to two consecutive Stanley Cup victories and, under his ownership, secured two more. Remarkably, he is the only individual to have his name etched on the Stanley Cup both as a player and an owner. His accolades include three Hart Trophies as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player, six Art Ross Trophies as the league’s points leader, and two Conn Smythe Trophies for his playoff performances.
