From his time with the Detroit Red Wings during the twilight of his HOF career, where he spent the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons in Michigan, we have photo-matched gloves used by superstar Luc Robitaille in 2001-02, a season the superstar won his Stanley Cup championship, accompanied by a pair of sticks, with an example photo-matched to the 2002-03 season along with a stick used in 2001-02. As an additional bonus, two matching limited-edition prints on canvas of the 2002 Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings including Robitaille are also included. A signed LOA from Luc Robitaille will accompany.
First, the gloves are Easton models in solid Detroit red with white accents, with “Robitaille” embroidered to each, with heavy use shown on the pair including considerable rubbing to the leather in spots, with the palms both intact. Getty Image #565886 (April 4th 2002) has been matched to the wear pattern in the letters "EA" of Easton over the cuff of the right glove, with the scratch with missing material on the thumb protector matching on the left glove. The Easton stick from 2001-02 has “20” and “Robitaille” factory graphics over the shaft, with the original white tape over the handle, with the blade tape removed. The stick shows good use with heavy wear to the underside of the blade and marks to the shaft. The Louisville stick from 2002-03 has Robitaille” factory graphics over the shaft, with the original white tape over the handle and blade, with the lower section of the shaft painted over in black. Heavy use is shown, with considerable wear to the blade and shaft. Getty Images #1795871 and #1795960 (Jan 28, 2003) have both been matched to the scratches/wear patterns on the lower portion of the shaft. The prints on canvas are both 30” x 44”, with just light handling wear to the pair, with each awaiting a new frame.

Founded in 2007 by Stacia and Luc Robitaille, Echoes of Hope strives to awaken the spirit of hope in the lives of children, youth, and young adults in need by alleviating barriers and helping them reach their full potential.
