Drafted 2nd overall behind Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel would be awarded the Hobey Baker Award as the top college hockey player in the NCAA for the 2014-15 season, registering 71 points in only 40 games played with the Boston University Terriers. Playing the first six (6) years of his National Hockey League career with the Buffalo Sabres before being traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, Eichel and the rest of his Vegas teammates would hoist Lord Stanley's Cup at the conclusion of the 2022-23 season with Jack registering 26 points in 22 games played in the postseason. One of the best players in the game today, offered here is this pair of sticks used by Eichel during the early portion of his career with the Buffalo Sabres as well as a pair of gloves issued to him for use during Buffalo's 50th anniversary season of 2019-20. Starting with the sticks, one is an unsigned Bauer Supreme 1S model used during his sophomore season of 2016-17 while the other, a Warrior Dynasty HD1 twig, is believed to have been used by him during the Sabres 2015-16 rookie/development camp. Both sporting "Eichel" factory graphics over the upper shafts, each stick also retains its original tape job of yellow cloth-over-white on the handle/knob (some of the yellow on the Warrior has been removed towards the bottom with the rest loose in the middle) with white over the blades. Structurally sound and free from cracks or breaks, both sticks show use via marks over the blade tape as well as marks and abrasions over the shafts, lower shafts and heels. Of note, the Bauer stick has a factory sticker on the underside of the shaft listing the production date as being the 40th week of 2016 helping us date the stick while the Warrior has been signed by Jack with a silver marker ink signature that displays well and without issue over the heel on the forehand side. For the gloves, Bauer Supreme 2S models issued to Jack for use during the 2019-20 season when the Sabres would wear their 50th anniversary jerseys, the mostly white mittens remain in brand new condition and display beautifully while Bauer logos have been embroidered in gold via a three dimensional style over the top of each wrist. Featuring "Eichel" sewn into the outside of each wrist guard in navy thread, the gloves come accompanied with their original plastic bag from Bauer that has a sticker over the bottom right listing the model, team, colours and player as well.
