Wayne Gretzky began the 1988-89 NHL season as a member of the Los Angeles Kings after leaving the only professional hockey team he had known. For eight seasons, Wayne Gretzky maintained his hall of fame level play while wearing the iconic number 99 as a member of the Kings. While one fan base was disappointed with his departure, the 'Great One' was capturing a new avid fan base in southern California. The ‘Great One' has signed the back of this replica CCM jersey in silver paint pen.
