Leading all scorers with 12 points accumulated in just 8 tournament games, the 1984 Canada Cup would be the third incarnation of the event, with Wayne Gretzky matching his previous tournament total from 1981. Team Canada would defeat Sweden in a best-of-three final, with this it’s second of four Canada Cup tournament victories. Held before the start of the 1984-85 NHL season that would see Gretzky and his Oilers achieve a mark of back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, offered here is this stick used by Gretzky during the 1984 Canada Cup that has been signed by twenty-three (23) members of Canada's 1984 Canada Cup roster. A Titan made offering that sports a "W. Gretzky" stamp over the bottom portion of the shaft, "Canada Cup" and "Titan" graphics are found over the shaft on both the forehand and backhand sides. Retaining its original tape white tape job over the handle/knob and black tape around the blade, a factory production stamp reading "AOUT 17 1984" is found on the underside of the lower shaft while a "WG" pattern code has been penned in pencil on the underside of the heel. Signed by twenty-three (23) including fourteen (14) inductees of the Hockey Hall of Fame throughout the piece, those that have autographed the stick include; Gretzky, Messier, Bossy (x2), Yzerman, Bourque, Fuhr, Robinson, Stevens, Wilson, Savard, Coffey, Goulet, Lowe, Anderson, Gregg, Middleton, Huddy, Bellows, Peters, Patrick, Bourne, Tonelli and a couple that couldn't be made out.
