The Story: To fill some gaps in my collection, I wanted a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Christmas jersey. Authentics aren't very easy to come by, so the best bet to get your hands on one of these is to find an actual game worn jersey that is sold by the team. This can be easier said than done, but with a little patience, one will come around. With a little more patience, you'll find a fantastic deal like this one, as buying this jersey also got me another WBS gamer free of charge!
Though he only played seven games with Pittsburgh in the 2008-09 season - the only seven NHL games he ever played - Janne Pesonen had quite an impact in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. During the 2008-09 campaign, he sets WBS team records for assists (50) and points (82) that still stand today. Since this jersey only saw action in two games, wear is very minimal - just a little bit of board paint on the sleeves. I thought the "X" patch, commemorating the Baby Pens' tenth anniversary in the AHL, was a nice touch. The younger members in the family are much more interested in the Santa hat on the Penguin's head, though!
