Spellbinding Jacques Plante game-used stick is signed by members of the 1955-56 Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens! This stick was purchased in Plante's hometown of Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, where it was originally on display in one of his brothers' businesses (a hole is visible in the paddle, most likely done to mount and display the stick). "Souvenir du Canadiens 1955-56 pour Coupe Stanley" is handwritten in red on one side of the shaft with “Plante” stamped, with the CCM Pattern Made Professional model sporting Jacques' black tape job on the blade though some rows were removed, with the original tape over the knob now gone (the outline is visible). Showing heavy use with cracks to the blade, paddle and heel, the Canadiens who have signed the stick include Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Dollard St-Laurent, Doug Harvey, Jacques Plante, Henri Richard, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Bob Turner, Jean Beliveau, Bud MacPherson, Don Marshall, Ken Mosdell, Dickie Moore, Floyd Curry and Jean-Guy Talbot. The Andre Pronovost autograph on the paddle is a recent signature obtained by the consignor. The paddle also seems to be signed by players from the old Quebec Hockey League (1953-59), it includes Roger Dubuc (Shawinigan-Falls Cataracts), John Hanna (Chicoutimi Sagueneens), QHL coach Jacques Toupin. These autographs, a number of which are pale, were most likely added on.
