Originally drafted by the Blackhawks 199th overall in 1983, it would take seven years for Dominik Hasek to come over to North America and join the Chicago organization due to the Iron Curtain. In a system that already included Ed Belfour, Hasek would only play 25 games over two seasons in Chicago before being traded to Buffalo and blossoming into one of the NHL’s top goalies. The first European born goaltender to lead the NHL in GAA and earning considerable awards/accolades throughout his career, Hasek owns claim to the highest save percentage in league history as well as two (2) Stanley Cups, six (6) Vezina Trophy's and two (2) Hart Memorial Trophy's as well as a historic Olympic gold medal in 1998 with his native Team Czech Republic. Offered here, from the era of the early-to-mid-1990s during his time in the "Queen City" as a member of the Sabres, is this stick used and signed by Hasek. A Sher-Wood P.M.P.G 530 model twig in white and blue with "Hasek 39" stamped over the shaft, the stick retains "The Dominator's" original tape job of white over the handle/knob with the blade tape having long been removed to facilitate Hasek's large flowing blue marker ink signature over the forehand side that still displays well despite some even fading throughout. Displaying game-use via puck marks over both sides of the paddle, red post paint transfers over the backside of the upper shaft and numerous marks and abrasions throughout the entirety of the stick, it is also worth noting that the majority of the NHL accent sticker over the bottom of the shaft has worn away while the one around the bottom of the paddle is largely intact and in good condition.
