Full Description:
Jake Taylor was a big solid d-man that, personally, I think would have made it to the NHL if not for two fluke injuries in his first two pro seasons. First, he took a puck to the face in practice (from coach Ryan McGill) that fractured his orbital bone and wiped out a good chunk of his rookie season.
The following season, Dan Carcillo sucker punched him and broke his face...again, forcing him to, temporarily, play a less physical game.
Then in his third season, he got hurt in training camp. I can not recall the exact circumstances, but it was equally fluky and unfortunate. He returned at the end of January and then blew out his shoulder at the start of March in a fight with Louis Robitaille -- season over.
By his fourth season, no longer eyed as a prospect, he was supplanted in the NYR depth chart by the likes of Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, and Michael Sauer so a change of scenery was much needed.
His first season under the Edmonton Oilers umbrella was interupted early with a knee injury that kept him out for all but 28 games. Shame, too, as he had impressed during the Oilers training camp.
This jersey is from the 2009 pre-season where Taylor played one game in the blue jersey -- September 16, 2009 against the Islanders. He was subsequently assigned to Springfield 5 days layer and remained in the AHL all season.
He never did reach the NHL during the regular season but, man, what a great guy off the ice too. Humble. Truly humble...and I cant say that about too may of the guys Ive photographed during my years working in Hartford.

Round 1 #4 Overall
1991 NHL Entry Draft
|
Added to Collection: 2021-10-26
Previous Owners:

Full Description:
Light wear with just a few marks on the sleeves. Canadiens COA -- not that that's worth anything as they issue them for GI's decades after the fact. This is likely a GI for the playoffs...which the Canadiens failed to make. Either way, Montreal keeps their whites looking pristine.
Lachance was traded to the Canadiens a couple weeks before the trade deadline on March 9, 1999 and played 17 games for the Habs that season.
Connecticut can lay claim to Brian Leetch, Craig Janney, Max Pacioretty, Chris Drury, Cam Atkinson, Ron Hainsey, Nick Bonino, Colin Wilson, and Jonathan Quick. Even Jeremy Roenick would be under the umbrella of a Connecticut raised player.
And, sure, there are a number of first round picks from Connecticut...but the earliest pick still belongs to Scott Lachance -- drafted 4th overall in 1991 by the NY Islanders.

1997-1998 Beast of New Haven (AHL) Home Jersey |

Material: Knit |
Size: 52 |

Not Drafted.

Full Description:
In August of 1997, the front office staffs of the Hartford Wolf Pack and Beast of New Haven (both new teams for the 97-98 season) held a softball game to drum up fan interest.
At that time of the year, the front offices were not fully staffed for either team -- frankly, I don't recall ever seeing some of the folks that played on either team ever again -- and I'm not sure the event was much of a fanfest. Maybe 10 people in attendance.
One of the raffle prizes was a game jersey -- which I won. Odd that a Hartford employee would win a New Haven jersey but it is what it is. I received this jersey from the PR guy of the Beast prior to their first game in Hartford.
Hilariously, the Beast still did not have all of their uniforms from Bauer yet (they started the season wearing white practice jerseys for the first 7 games. The Wolf Pack, suffering the same issue, hastily had a set of jerseys made up by AthleticKnit that they wore in their Inaugural game.
So, yes, I had a full sewn game jersey in my hands before the actual team took the ice in full uniform.
Features the PHPA patch sewn to the hem but shows, obviously, zero wear.
