The Racers played 1974–78 and gave a 17-year-old Wayne Gretzky his first pro contract.

Blue with the Racers crest and a red-and-white hem. Lightweight polyester and no sleeves, so a WHA team gets the same summer the rest of hockey gets: the BBQ, the bar, the beach, pickup.

  • 100% Machine Wash Safe
  • Fits like a "hockey basketball jersey"
  • Sizing: Runs slightly larger than a normal T-shirt size — see our Sizing Chart for measurements

Jacques Demers coached them to the Eastern Division title in 1975-76, and in 1978 owner Nelson Skalbania signed a 17-year-old Wayne Gretzky, who played eight games before his contract was sold to Edmonton. Mark Messier, also 17, started his pro career with the Racers that season, and the team folded in December 1978.
