The Cheez

The Pitlick jersey in question is a white Florida Panthers CCM jersey. I'm going for the '98-'03 style with the arched letters on a nameplate. Anyway thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it.

For the Kings I'd personally go with Fiset or Storr. As for my Lightning, Daren Puppa was one of my all-time favorite players, so I'm biased. Although Khabibulin won the cup in '04, Puppa was the first real solid netminder the Lightning ever had. Other than those, I'd say Cloutier for Vancouver and Guy Hebert for the Ducks.

'Sup doods. I've been a hockey fan for a long time but only very recently thought about starting to collect jerseys. The only one I have is an old CCM Mats Sundin Leafs jersey (the 1992-1997 style) I got a while back, but I have a few customization projects in the works and I'm excited to start collecting. Currently working on: - Vintage ('96-'00) TB Lightning #93 Daren Puppa jersey (black) - 2000-era Florida Panthers #2 Lance Pitlick jersey (white) Anyway, I'm a huge fan of my own Tampa Bay Lightning and also the Maple Leafs, but I'm not above wearing other teams' jerseys if they look cool (you'll never see me in Habs gear though...EVER). I also had a question for all the hardcore hockey jersey fiends out there about letter/number kits. I'm currently looking for an appropriate kit for the Lance Pitlick jersey I want to make (it's a white '99 series CCM I got real cheap on eBay), and in searching for lettering kits I've found two options: heat sealed or sewn-together letters and numbers. The heat sealed ones (from what I gather) are lower quality, but they're a lot cheaper and I'm a college student on a semi-tight budget. I was just wondering is it worth it to invest the extra money in sewn-together letters/numbers (it's a step up from about $30 to $60) over the heat sealed ones in your opinion? I want my jersey to look cool and last, but I also don't want to break the bank if I don't need to.
