In 1972, Rick Ley was one of the first players lost by Toronto to the rival WHA. Ley spent seven years in the newly formed WHA with the New England Whalers and was a member of the first WHA championship team in 1973. He was picked to take part in the 1974 Summit Series versus the USSR and was named to the WHA first and second all-star teams once each. This all original first year Whalers jersey has Ley’s name sewn. His traditional number 2 sits on both sleeves and the back. Pucky logos on both shoulders with Gerry Cosby and size 58 tagging in the collar. Nice use throughout with five total team repairs including one each on the front right side and right elbow areas and three more on the left elbow. Scuffs and one paint transfer on the right elbow. Sweat staining around the collar. Metal clip style fight strap inside. A fantastic WHA gamer.
