One of only seven men throughout a century of NHL hockey to eclipse the insurmountable 700-goal plateau, Alexander Ovechkin has proven himself as one of the game’s all-time greatest, with HOF enshrinement guaranteed. Staring down the barrel towards the NHL's all-time goal scoring record currently held by Wayne Gretzky and the practical owner of the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy that is awarded at seasons end to the man with the most goals during the season, Ovi has won it nine (9) times, including a run of four (4) straight between 2012-13 and 2015-16. Hailing from a season in which he added thirty-eight (38) markers to his illustrious goal total, offered here is this stick used by Ovechkin during the 2011-12 season.

Also sporting the original white blade tape around the toe and retaining its original factory production date and serial number stickers affixed to the underside of the shaft, a MeiGray sticker numbered "145207" has been added over the top side of the shaft on the backhand side.
