Description: This jersey was acquired directly from Norm Maracle and was the jersey he wore when he raised the Stanley Cup over his head in 1998. Norm didn’t play in the playoffs, but the Black Aces dressed for the celebration and got to hoist the cup. The jersey is matched to the photo of him holding the cup, with the stitching in the wing matching up perfectly. Norm had the team sign the jersey during the locker room celebration after the game. The sleeves have been altered to install almost a foot of extra material into the armpit gusset.
