81 – 82 #27 Reggie Leach
- WHITE
- Sandow SK Mesh
- 1981 – 82 Season worn.
- This is from the famous Cooperall pant era. The original “Cooperalls” worn by the Flyers in 1981-82 were black with an orange stripe trimmed in white which ran down the length of the leg and were actually not Cooperalls, but a CCM version of the Cooperalls called CCM Pro Guard. Philadelphia completed their first season in the long pants with a 38-31-11 record, which was good for 87 points, placing them sixth in the Wales Conference. ref. Third String Goalie.

- Reggie Leach was a key member of the Broad Street Bullies with a flair for finding the back of the net with the puck. He led the NHL in goal scoring in 1976. Reggie is of Ojibwe ethnicity, a member of Berens River First Nation in Manitoba. His son Jamie Leach played in the NHL for parts of 5 seasons, winning the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992. Reggie and his two children have all represented Canada: Leach with Team Canada in 1976; son Jamie in the World Juniors in 1989; and daughter Brandie in the world Lacrosse championships in Scotland in 1991-92.
- His career from the beginning with the Flin Flon Bombers to the Bruins, Oakland Seals, Flyers, and one year with the Red Wings was glorious. He is one of our all time favorite players here at DHC and we are glad to have this game worn jersey from his last season as a Flyer.
- If you have a pair of the Cooperall Flyers shells that we could get, we would love to pair them up with this jersey.
