Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2021

Opting for Hespeler models and departing from the traditional Titan sticks preferred throughout the earlier part of his unrivaled career, we have a signed stick used by Wayne Gretzky with the New York Rangers in 1997-98 near the closing chapter of his time in the NHL. A Hespeler 5500 Fiberglas model, “Gretzky” appears over the upper shaft, with a pattern code of “55 7” on the underside (there is also a flex rating on the lower shaft that appears to read "115-120 Stiff"). The original black tape is in place over the blade, with Wayne’s patented black Gripper over the knob. Light game-use is exhibited with wear to the underside of the blade along with a few marks to the shaft. There is also a bit of surface residue just above “Gretzky” on the upper shaft. Wayne has signed just above the heel section in blue marker, with the signature displaying beautifully. Obtained personally by an NHL trainer from Wayne directly, this important lumber is ready for display.
