Rendez-vous '87 was an ice hockey exhibition series between the Soviet national ice hockey team and a team of all-stars from the National Hockey League, held in Quebec City. It replaced the NHL's all-star festivities for the 1986-87 NHL season. The two-game series took place during five days of festivities starting on February 9, 1987 and finishing on February 13. The series was very successful, with some, including Wayne Gretzky, calling for more international hockey, especially between Canada and Russia, the two top powers of hockey at the time. This jacket belonged to one of the Assistant Coaches for the NHL team, Gerry Cheevers from the Boston Bruin coaching staff. It is black corduroy jacket with orange snaps, pockets and embroidery. On the right chest is embroidered "Rendez-Vous '87 All-Star Team" and on the right chest is the NHL logo and "National Hockey League" embroidered. It is a size XL/48 but looks more like a medium/large and is in overall VG wearable condition. The black is slightly faded and there is a small 2cm hole on the rear of the jacket. Otherwise there are no rips or stains.
