Born: Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada - July 11, 1963 Acquired July 4, 1994 from Calgary with a 4th round 1997 draft pick in exchange for Phil Housley and a 2nd round 1996 draft pick and a 2nd round 1997 draft pick Defense - Blues Career: 1994-2004, GP 613, G 127, A 325, Pts 452, PIM 551
Throughout his career, MacInnis terrorized goaltenders and defenders breaking more than a few opponents ankles and ripping shots through goalies' gloves. Therefore, Big Al will always be remembered as much for his booming slap shot as for any of his other attributes. This is why this jersey is of particular interest. In 2002-03, Al MacInnis wore this very jersey as he participated in and won the NHL's Hardest Slap Shot competition during the annual All-Star Super Skills event. While not actually worn in an NHL regular season game, this jersey holds a special place within this collection due to what it represents. MacInnis will always be revered in St. Louis as a classy, quiet, leader who was a fierce competitor on the ice and a winner.
