Second on the all-time wins list for American-born goaltenders, John Vanbiesbrouck began his career in Manhattan and spent 10 seasons with the Blueshirts which included a Vezina Trophy win in 1986. Additional season would follow with four other clubs including Philadelphia, with the Detroit native also representing the US internationally. From his time in Philly, we have a stick used by Johnny V in the late-1990s. A Vic 9050 model with “Vanbiesbrouck” stamped to the upper shaft, the original orange tape is intact on the blade and over the handle, with a white reinforcing strand over the knob. The stick remains completely solid and shows heavy game-use, with numerous tears and marks to the blade tape and some chipping along the top edge of the paddle. There is also some spotting/staining to the paddle and upper shaft, with considerable red paint transfer to the backside of the shaft.
