This is Wade Belak's game worn home sweater from the 1997-98 regular season. Belak played only 8 games this season with 1 goal and 1 assist for 2 points both coming in the same home game against Washington. Belak accumulated 27 penalty penalty minutes in the eight games made up of mostly fighting majors. The wear on the sweater is very light but staining from blood does exist. Belak played with 5 different teams throughout his career, and was a beloved teammate and great enforcer in the league.. His life ended in tragedy in 2011 as he suffered from depression.. He committed suicide in a Toronto hotel room by hanging himself.. Belak will never be forgotten by his teammates, the league and fans.
