It was a crazy year for my collection, I was able to cross some huge names off the list, and more importantly some huge moments in penguins history. You can read more about the individual jerseys here, as well as see better photos, but here's a brief summary:
00-01 Lemieux – Worn during the spring of 01, he came back from retirement to lead the league in goals, assists, and points per game at age 35!
95-96 Jagr – Worn during the second half of the highest scoring season of his career. Worn for his 500th point, 60th goal, and when he broke the all time record for points by a european in a single season. Would have won the scoring title if not for Lemieux
08-09 Fleury – Worn during the first half of 08-09, his first cup season!
91-92 Paek – My favorite player, worn during the first half of 91-92, his proper rookie season and 2nd cup year
00-01 Hedberg – worn after his call up and for the last game of his cinderella playoff run!
08 Whitney WC – worn during the first period of the inaugural winter classic
15-16 Murray – worn during the regular season after his call up, 4-2 with two shutouts
16-17 Bonino – worn during the first half of 16-17, his second cup year
15-16 Kunitz – worn during the first half of 15-16, his third cup year
05-06 Armstrong – worn for his NHL debut and rookie season, also his highest scoring season
If anyone reading this collects penguins gamers, I'd love to get in touch! Always nice to meet fellow collectors.

Great collection!!
Good lord those are incredible. I don’t want to even think about the cost of that Lemieux.
Looking at your site, you’ve hit most of the major players in Pens history. Just curious where the wish list stands now.
This week I chose to pay my phone bill instead of my gas bill. Maybe next week I’ll have enough for that one. lol
Sweet collection!! Congrats!
Great collection. I especially like the 2001 Hedberg, remember his playoff run really well.
Hell of a collection! I’m always partial to a goalie jersey with the red crossbar stain!
