Named the greatest player in Toronto Maple Leafs franchise history as part of the club's centennial celebrations in 2016, Dave Keon spent fifteen glorious seasons with the blue and white, earning selection to eight All-Star Games while winning four Stanley Cup championships. From early in his HOF career, we have a stick issued to the 1961 Calder Memorial winner team-signed by the 1961-62 Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs. A CCM Pattern Made Custom Pro model, "Keon" and "14" are stamped to the upper shaft, with supplier stamps from Love & Bennett and Brown's Sports on each side of the shaft. Never used, there is tape to the blade and knob, but this was most likely added at some point for display purposes. "Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Champions 1961-62" is written across the blade tape in black marker. 16 have signed in blue ballpoint on one side of the shaft, with the signatures exceptional specimens, looking as dark as the day they were penned. Signers include Red Kelly, trainer Bob Haggert, Billy Harris, Allan Stanley, Johnny Bower, Ed Shack, Larry Hillman, Dave Keon, trainer Tommy Naylor, Tim Horton, Ron Stewart, Kent Douglas, Ed Litzenberger, Frank Mahovlich, Carl Brewer and Don Simmons. We should note that Kent Douglas didn't play any regular season games in 1961-62, he started playing for the Leafs in 1962-63, so the stick may have been signed prior to the season at training camp or exhibition games. Other than Douglas, all of the other players saw action in the three consecutive Stanley Cup Leafs' teams of the early-1960s
