If you have questions, ask first. * You are bidding on a hockey stick that belonged to Mark Messier when he was the Captain of the Vancouver Canucks. The Louisville TPS Rubber Kelvar Graphic black stick, with named stamped blade, shows extensive game wear (see glove wear on word RUBBER on side) - no telling how many goals Mark scored with this stick !!! It was acquired after his winning game on January 13, 2000 in Nashville, TN.  Mark had just won the game for the Canucks against the Nashville Predators in Overtime (4-3 OT).  The entire team celebrated and left the ice for the locker room.  Mark was named the “First Star of the Game” by the news media and returned to the ice, without helmet, to smile and wave to the crowd.   * He was so elated by his final minutes performance in winning the hard fought contest that he handed his game used stick to me when leaving the ice and entering the tunnel to return to locker room.  After the game, I caught up with him on the lower level of the arena, where the players board the bus. He graciously signed his name and number (#11) on the neck of the blade in black marker.   * This is a SUPER RARE piece of hockey memorabilia!!!  Messier rarely ever gave up his sticks, even if they were broken.  This is stick has no known cracks and only one noticeable nick on the neck of the blade, possibly from that night’s contest.   * Had met Mark at the hotel prior to the game (see photo) where I had multiple times asked him for his stick if they won that night.  Mark remembered me and gave up the stick as I cheered on this titan of hockey in his victory.  Please see photos of Mark on the ice prior to game holding this exact stick! * I am not a huge memrobalia sports store with laser etched tags and COAs - what I am is a historian who knows that this is a piece of TRUE HISTORY and am offering it to the public with the providence of the events as they occurred with photographic proof.  For further information on this stick, please contact me.   * Low starting bid, No Reserve * Great Holiday gift for the hard-to-buy-for avid Hockey Fan, history buff or demanding collector.   * Buyers pays $25.00 Shipping & Handling cost; Recommend Insurance * International costs may vary * When item is mailed, it is in the condition stated in the description * Accept Visa, MasterCard and other credit card payment thru Paypal.com, Cashier Checks and Money Orders accepted * No Personal Checks * Winner please contact us within four days.
