1995 Wayne Gretzky LA Kings Game-Used Stick

Wayne Gretzky’s 1995 Easton Stick: A Testament to Greatness

An Iconic Season for “The Great One”

In the 1995 NHL season, Wayne Gretzky, affectionately known as “The Great One,” showcased his unparalleled skill and adaptability. Despite the challenges posed by new rules following the lockout, Gretzky played in 48 games, scoring 11 goals and 37 assists, culminating in a total of 48 points. His performance was a testament to his enduring talent and leadership, guiding the Los Angeles Kings to the playoffs. This season further solidified Gretzky’s legacy as one of the most influential figures in hockey history.

The Easton Stick: A Piece of Hockey History

This Easton manufactured aluminum stick is more than just a piece of equipment; it is a relic of Gretzky’s illustrious career. The stick features the name “GRETZKY” prominently displayed on both the blade and shaft, a mark of its authenticity and connection to the legendary player. The handle is wrapped in Gretzky’s signature “Gripper” tape, and the butt end is inscribed with “A.E. 75” in black, adding a personal touch to this remarkable artifact.

Unique Markings and Provenance

Adding to its allure, the stick’s blade is taped in black, though slightly separating, indicating its use on the ice. Handwritten on the shaft in black marker is the notation “MARCH 6/95 2,300TH NHL PT.” This inscription, while not aligning with the game log on the butt, adds a layer of intrigue and historical significance to the piece. Presented to us as game-used, this stick, in our opinion, shows wear, further attesting to its authenticity and connection to Gretzky’s storied career.
