Pat Lafontaine is a Hall of Fame center and member of the NHL Top 100. He was drafted by the New York Islanders with the 3rd pick in the 1983 NHL Draft. He was a great playmaker and his 1.17 points per game is the best among American-born players (active or retired). After 15 seasons, his career ended short due to concussions.
Below is a look at some of Pat Lafontaine’s career accomplishments and highlights.

Pat Lafontaine’s rookie card is i nthe 1984 O-Pee-Chee set. Throughout the years, he has been hit or miss TTM. For a couple years, he would autograph items with a donation to his foundation but the last time that I tried, nothing came back. I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it into a paid signing; the card turned out perfectly.
Currently there are only 45 autographed 1984 O-Pee-Chee Pat Lafontaine rookie cards in the PSA registry.
