VIntage NHL gear is pretty hard to find now-a-days, especially the Canadian teams. People in Canada still like hockey unlike most people in the States (especially LA) who probably dont even realize the LA Kings still play and thought the team went under when Gretzky left, hahaha. With all sports, apparel gets more valuable and sought after if the team is now-defunct and no longer exists. The Winnipeg Jets were based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and played in the NHL from 1979 to 1996. Due to mounting financial troubles, in 1996 the franchise moved to Phoenix, Arizona and became the Phoenix Coyotes. The fit above is cold as ice!!! The jacket is made by Shain which was a company from Canada who made sports apparel similar to Starter but never gained mainstream populatiy in the states. The hat on the other hand was made by Universal and features an all purpose Hi-TECH fabric with a velcro adjustable back!!!
