Reunited with Mark Messier and helping to lead the New York Rangers to the Conference Finals, Wayne Gretzky would score a team-leading 20 postseason points in just 15 games in 1996-97, his first season in Manhattan with the Blueshirts and the final stop in his storied NHL career. Offered here, is this stick used by Gretzky during the 1996-97 season. An Easton Silver Tip model with "Gretzky" factory graphics over the shaft as well as "105 X-Stiff", the stick retains Wayne’s familiar “Jack the Gripper” over the handle/knob. Sporting a blade that has been inserted into the shaft and has “Gretzky” stamped onto the stem, Wayne's original black tape job is found wrapped around both sides. A highly desirable twig that comes accompanied by a Shawn Chaulk LOA, the stick shows game-use via marks over both sides of the blade tape with more dark coloured marks found over both sides of the blade stem and untaped toe while the shaft itself remains in excellent condition and displays just a couple of small chips to the graphics.
