Spending multiple seasons in the Q with Shawinigan during the early-1970s, Jean Bernier was selected in both the NHL and WHA drafts of 1974, and skated for his home province Quebec Nordiques for four seasons, from 1974 to 1978. This Nordiques jersey was worn by the defenseman in 1976-77, the season Quebec was crowned Avco Cup champions. Currently void of any collar labeling, the vintage mesh sweater measures-out to roughly size 52. Featuring the classic Nords team crest, all identifiers have been screened-on, including the team crest, sleeve and verso numbers, as well as “J Bernier” across the affixed nameplate. The jersey also sports heat-pressed fleur-de-lys emblems over the lower front, reverse and shoulders, with the loop-style fight strap intact. Bernier netted 23 points in 1976-77 en route to the Avco Cup championship, which is quite impressive for a defenseman. An LOA will accompany.
Sporting light to moderate game-use with a few marks and burns visible, there is also a bit of wear to the team crest, with team repairs over the lower front and right sleeve. A Nordiques program from the era will accompany.
