Here's what Darryl Sittler's historic Maple Leafs sweater fetched at auction
If you were hoping to get your hands on a significant piece of Maple Leafs history, you're out of luck. An anonymous bidder has paid $143,030 for the sweater that Darryl Sittler wore when he recorded 10 points in a Leafs victory against the Boston Bruins on Feb. 7, 1976. The sale was made via Los Angeles-based Grey Flannel Auctions. The starting bid in the online auction, which opened on May 12 and closed on June 1, was $10,000. A total of 29 bids were made. Nearly 50 years after the historic performance, Sittler's 10 points remain a National Hockey League record for one game. That night at Maple Leafs Gardens, the Leafs captain had six goals and four assists as the Leafs shelled Bruins goalie Dave Reece in an 11-4 Toronto win. Reece, who faced 40 shots that night, didn't play in an NHL game again. All 14 of his career games came during the 1975-76 season with the Bruins. The previous record for most points in an NHL game was eight, done by Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens during the 1944-45 season. Since Sittler's extraordinary performance, 12 players have recorded eight points in a game, but no one has had nine. Most recently, Sam Gagner, with the Edmonton Oilers at the time, had eight points (four goals and four assists) on Feb. 2, 2012, in an 8-4 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux both posted two eight-point games during their legendary careers. A game-worn sweater belonging to Gretzky, meanwhile, during his tenure with the New York Rangers sold for $295,492 via Grey Flannel Auctions. The autographed sweater is rare: On April 7, 1998, in a game against the Montreal Canadiens, Gretzky wore the captain's 'C' as Rangers captain Brian Leetch was out of the lineup because he was sick. Gretzky, who retired following the next season, scored the 884th goal of his NHL career that night in a 3-2 Rangers loss. tkoshan@ X: @koshtorontosun Maple Leafs need to keep Easton Cowan and give him a legitimate shot A look at Brad Treliving's work two years into his tenure as Maple Leafs GM

Darryl Sittler's 10-point game Maple Leafs sweater from 1976 up for auction
Article content The whereabouts of the sweater was a decades-old mystery, even to Sittler, until American sports sweater collector Barry Meisel obtained it unexpectedly in a bulk purchase in 2018. Taking it to the Hockey Hall of Fame resource centre in Toronto, matching the slightly crooked stem of the Harold Ballard-era Leafs logo and certain stains and loose shoulder threads from action photos of Sittler in the game, it was authenticated. Sittler told the Sun in 2018 he didn't ask to keep the white-base, blue-trim No. 27 jersey with the captain's 'C' that year, as such items weren't as desirable like today's memorabilia market. He said it was plausible Ballard had gifted or sold it to a friend and congratulated Meisel on his detective work, adding he wouldn't bid, with the price expected to get well into six figures. From a starting price of $10,000 US on Tuesday morning, the sweater was up to $50,549 by early afternoon with bidding on the company's web site open until June 2. Sittler told the Sun on Monday he hadn't known it was now up for auction.
