Brian Leetch established himself as one of the NHL's top defensemen and a surefire Hall of Famer over the course of his 18-year-long career, which ended on May 24, 2007, when he officially announced his retirement. Leetch won Rookie of the Year honors in 1989 and went on to earn the Norris Trophy (as the league's best defenseman) in 1992 and 1997 and the Conn Smythe Trophy (as playoff MVP) in 1994. That same season, 1994, he helped lead the New York Rangers to their first Stanley Cup title in 54 years. The Rangers retired his number on Jan. 24, 2008, raising a banner into the rafters at Madison Square Garden in his honor. Brian Leetch has hand signed this New York Rangers blue replica jersey, which comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
