Doug Risebrough Road Jersey; 1977-78

Place cursor over image to see the reverse.

This majestic jersey dates back to the Stanley Cup winning season of 1977-78 from this former first- round pick of the Montreal Canadiens.   Road red Wilson jersey (Size 42!!) boasts the anticipated wear one would expect from Doug.  Several large repairs are evident including one massive restoration spanning 4 ½ inches in length along the right sleeve.  Sensational pilling, dozens of small snags and rips, as well as general tattering around the numbers highlight this wonderful shirt.    Few players brought as much to the proverbial hockey table as this 4-time Stanley Cup champion.  Doug Risebrough’s dependability and consistency made him more than just a coveted member of the Canadiens, but an integral part of their overall success.  Doug was an assiduous role model who did the little things that resulted in pivotal victories.  Risebrough was an aggressive, uncompromising, in-your-face agitator, a player who succeeded in aggravating the opposition, characteristically causing general disorder.  The Ontario native was the ideal blend of peskiness and resolution whose depiction was sound defensive play united with an ability for scoring important goals.
