The Calder Memorial winner in 2017 for his impressive rookie campaign of 69 points in 82 games, Auston Matthews has won consecutive Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophies as the NHL's leading goal scorer, with All-Star Game appearances in every season played thus far (the 2021 All-Star Game was cancelled due to Covid). Offered here, is this stick used by the Leafs sniper during his sophomore season of 2017-18. A Bauer Nexus 1N model with “Matthews” factory graphics over the shaft, the stick retains its original tape job of white cloth over the handle/knob and white over the blade while the lower shaft of the stick has been blacked out by Matthews. Sporting moderate game use, stick marks are seen over both sides of the blade tape with numerous scuffs/abrasions observed over the lower shaft and heel of the stick as well. Wear and chipping is also exhibited to the black paint that has been applied to the lower shaft of the stick. Additionally, the stick has been photo-matched to the 2018 NHL All-Star Skills Competition with Getty Image #911213294 (January 27th, 2018 @ NHL All-Star Skills Competition) to the distinctive mark on the heel of the stick on the backhand side. A Leafs hologram has been affixed to the backhand side of the heel and an LOA from the team will accompany the piece.
