The rarest and most iconic game-worn hockey jerseys are the "Cup lifters," those jerseys from Stanley Cup celebrations. Here's one video-matched to the Islanders' second Stanley Cup victory in franchise history. Bob Bourne wore this jersey while playing for the New York Islanders during the 1981 Stanley Cup Finals. The jersey is video-matched to both the on-ice celebration and to a postgame interview after the team's 5-1 victory over the Minnesota North Stars on May 21, 1981 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. Bourne scored career highs in goals (35) and points (76) in 1980-81, the Islanders' second of four straight Stanley Cup Final victories. Bourne was a member of all four Cup-winning Islanders teams. The New York Islanders Hall of Famer and known humanitarian played 14 years in the NHL scoring 258 goals with 324 assists in 964 games. The jersey exhibits black marks and board burns. Black marks on the crest and a horizontal black mark underneath the crest serve as the match points. A MeiGray Letter of Authenticity will come with this jersey.
