1989-90 Phil Bourque Game Worn Jersey (Set 3)
Phil Bourque signed as a free agent with the Penguins in 1982, seeing game action by 1983 and ultimately winning two Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992. Bourquey enjoyed a twelve year NHL career, totaling 199 points in 477 games. He’s been a color analyst for the Pens since the 2006-07 season and is adored by fans for his love of the game.
The ollllll’ 29’er scored a handful of points (and PIMS/fights) in this beauty, and even bowled over Patrick Roy for a disallowed goal. Worn at the tail end of the 1989-90 season, this jersey shows lots of great wear and repairs, and what seems to be a blood stain on the crest. The 1989-90 NHL All Star Game patch is sewn to the left shoulder. The jersey is photo matched to a March 2nd, 1990 game against the Devils, as well as a team yearbook photo and hockey card.
“What do you say we take this out on the river, and party all summer!!!”
Bourquey mixes it up:
With the Penguins trailing 4-2 in the third, Bourque scraps with Vancouver’s Garth Butcher to try and get something going. The Pens would rally with a goal from John Cullen but ultimately fall 5-3.
