A remarkable piece of New York Islanders history is heading to auction, and it carries the weight of both dynasty glory and one of the greatest goal scorers the sport has ever seen.

A signed Mike Bossy game-worn sweater from the 1984 Stanley Cup Final is being auctioned off by Grey Flannel Auctions after being photo-matched to Game 1 on May 10, 1984, and Game 2 on May 12, 1984. The white, blue, and orange CCM mesh jersey comes from one of the most significant stretches in NHL history, when the Islanders were chasing a fifth consecutive Stanley Cup during their “Drive for Five” that fell a few games short.

By 1984, the Islanders had already won four straight Cups from 1980 through 1983 and had swept the Edmonton Oilers in the previous year’s Final. Their return to the championship round in 1984 marked the continuation of a record-setting run: 19 consecutive playoff series victories, an NHL mark that still stands. However, Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers would end the dynasty in five games.

The sweater itself is packed with details collectors crave. Inside the back of the neck is a CCM label with Bossy’s No. 22 handwritten in faded black marker, along with a “04-84” born-on date sewn below it. The Islanders crest sits across the front, with No. 22 in blue-on-orange tackle twill on the sleeves and back. “BOSSY” appears in blue tackle twill on a white nameplate, and the jersey shows authentic game wear, including stick and slash marks, board burns, paint transfer, stitch pops, inner pilling and an unrepaired hole.

Bossy signed the second “2” on the back in silver marker: “Mike Bossy HOF 91.”

Bossy was drafted 15th overall in 1977 and spent his entire 10-year career on Long Island, becoming the franchise’s first 500-goal and 1,000-point player. A Calder winner, Conn Smythe winner, three-time Lady Byng recipient, and 1991 Hall of Fame inductee.

He was hockey’s defining snipers and the purest goal scorer of his generation.
