Found this puck from my childhood. I’m assuming it’s from the early ‘90s. If anyone could recognize any signatures and help me nail down a season it would be much appreciated!

I’m awful at identifying autographs, but I can tell you that it’s a pretty small window since Gary Bettman became commissioner on Feb 1, 1993. Jets final home game was April 26, 1996. So there’s a 38 month time period where it could be from.
Gary Bettman’s name is on it and he didn’t become commissioner until Feb. 93, which leads me to believe that puck is from the 93/94 season at the earliest.
That said, I can’t make out any names on that puck…. makes me wonder if it’s Jets alumni? Or coaches? Or other less-recognizable personalities?
Bettman has been the commissioner for THAT long??? God damn man. Doesn’t he have other aspirations in life? Pass the torch, brah.
It’s interesting, the one visible number that I can make out appears to be 28 on the back. Looking at the rosters for the 93-96 Jets the players with that number were Kevin McClelland, Craig Muni, and Craig Martin. And that signature looks nothing like any of those names.
I’m guessing it’s alumni. Top left is Mike Ford, and he was a WHA Jet.
