Called up during the 1980-81 season, Rollie Melanson became a crucial cog on that very first Islanders championship team as one of their goalie triumvirate, with Chico Resch and Billy Smith. Melanson wore this shirt for at least part of his 11 games in net, when he went 8-1-1 with a 3.10 GAA. Shirt is a trove for hunters of Islander heyday signatures, with 24 of ‘em on the "35" on the back of the shirt, including Smith, Trottier, Potvin, Gillies, Nystrom, Henning, Sutter, Tonelli, Morrow, Langevin, more! Sigs in black pen are EX. Blue mesh jersey with orange and white trim has the Islander logo screened on front and the "35" screen on back and both sleeves. Nameplate has been removed. "SK" tagging in collar w/100% nylon flag tag. "Sandow SK" screened in white on orange on back hem. Light use on this killer of an Islander shirt.
