This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/30/2024
A veteran of 846 National Hockey League games who played 741 of them in the orange and white uniform of the Philadelphia Flyers, Rick MacLeish, a product of the Peterborough Petes, would help the "Broad Street Bullies" win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975 and become the first player to score fifty (50) goals in a single season for an expansion club. Originally the 4th overall pick of the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft by the Boston Bruins and also playing in short stints with Hartford, Pittsburgh and Detroit, offered here is this stick used by MacLeish in the era of the mid-1970s. A Sher-Wood made offering that displays "19 MacLeish" stamped over the upper shaft, a pair of mostly intact stripping accent stickers are found wrapped around the upper and lower portions of the shaft. Retaining its original tape job of white-over-black on the knob, white on the handle and black around the blade, a red coloured date stamp appearing to read "Dec 11 1975" is found on the reverse side of the lower shaft just above the heel but we are not 100% positive that it displays that exact date. Exhibiting light-to-moderate game-wear, dark marks are observed over the lower shaft and heel areas while other various light marks and abrasions are present over the length of the shaft as well. Also showing some discolouration of the tape that covers the blade, some light marks are seen on both sides of it and there is also some wear along the bottom edge as well as a crack in the fibreglass.
