Originally drafted by the Blackhawks 199th overall in 1983, it would take seven years for Dominik Hasek to come over to North America and join the Chicago organization due to the Iron Curtain. In a system that already included Ed Belfour, Hasek would only play 25 games over two seasons in Chicago before being traded to Buffalo and blossoming into one of the NHL’s top goalies. The first European born goaltender to lead the NHL in GAA and earning considerable awards/accolades throughout his career, Hasek owns claim to the highest save percentage in league history as well as two (2) Stanley Cups, six (6) Vezina Trophy's and two (2) Hart Memorial Trophy's as well as a historic Olympic gold medal in 1998 with his native Team Czech Republic. Offered here, from the era of the late-1990s during his time in the "Queen City" as a member of the Sabres, is this stick used and signed by Hasek. A Louisville TPS GS2 Kevlar-Lite model twil with "Hasek" stamped over the lower portion of the shaft, the stick retains "The Dominator's" original tape job of white over the handle/knob, lower paddle and blade. Having been signed by Hasek over the forehand side of the stick at the top of the paddle with a large black marker ink signature that displays without issue, the stick shows heavy game-wear throughout its entirety with puck marks over both the paddle and shaft, paint loss over the paddle from the brunt of shots, red post paint transfer marks over the backside of the upper shaft, puck marks over both sides of the paddle and blade tape, wear to the bottom edge of the blade and tears over both sides of the blade tape, it also seems as thought there is a crack/break in the blade underneath the tape near the heel that is worth mentioning for accuracy.
