A product of the QMJHL who won a President's Cup championship with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in 1994, Andre Roy would be drafted 151st overall by the Boston Bruins at the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. Going on to play in a total of 515 games in the National Hockey League over the course of his career with the likes of Boston, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Calgary, Roy would hoist Lord Stanley's coveted cup as a member of the Lightning in 2004. Offered here, we present this stick used by Roy as a member of the Lightning in the early-to-mid-2000s. A CCM Vector model twig with "A. Roy" stamped over the upper shaft, the stick retains its original tape job of red cloth-over-white around the handle/knob and white around the blade. Having had a now dried gripping agent applied over the length of the blade that has left a good amount of residue, the stick shows wear via a number of marks and abrasions throughout the shaft, lower shaft, heel and blade including numerous puck marks over both sides of the blade tape and a few small tears over the forehand side also. Signed by Roy with a silver marker ink signature over the forehand side of the heel that displays without issue, also included with the stick is a Lightning practice jersey of the era as well. A Jofa made example with "Made in Canada" and size "58" labels affixed to the inner collar, both Jofa and size "58" swatches appear sewn on over the front hem while the NHL shield is embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with both Tampa Bay Lightning and NHL Center Ice crests that displsy with embroidered details, a fight strap is found on the interior and the jersey shows wear via a number of stick marks and board burns throughout. Also sporting some staining as well and light pilling on the interior, Roy has signed through the crest with a blue marker ink signature that displays without issue. Of note, it is unknown if the jersey was worn by Roy or by a mix of players.
