Registering individual point totals of 84 and 80 respectively for the Philadelphia Flyers during the 2008-09 National Hockey League season as they lead the Broad Street Bullies to a playoff appearance for the 33rd time in franchise history, both Jeff Carter and Mike Richards would be invited by Hockey Canada to the association's Orientation Camp in the Summer of 2009 with the intention of trying to be name to Team Canada's 2010 Winter Olympic roster. Offered here, we present this pair of sticks used by Carter and Richards during Canada's "Red and White Scrimmage" on August 27th, 2009. Both Bauer Supreme One95 model sticks in Team Canada's red and white colour way, factory graphics reading "Carter" and "Richards" are found over the upper shaft of each stick while a Canadian flag decorates the shaft of each as well. Both retaining their original tape jobs, the Carter stick features red cloth-over-white on the handle/knob while white the Richards sports just white that has now yellowed and shows some soiling/coloured marks. Both finished over the blades with black cloth, the Carter stick remains tacky and slightly sticky to the touch while the Richards has had a gripping agent, now dried out from age, applied over the length of the shaft. Both showing light signs of game-use, marks and abrasions are seen over the shafts, lower shafts, heels and blades of each stick with the blade tape of both also displaying puck marks over both sides as well. Additionally, the blade tape of the Richards stick has a few small tears and wear to the underside to make mention of as well. A cool pair of international offerings, don't miss out on adding these to your all-important collection today!
