Pair of Mark Messier Game-Used & Autographed Hockey Sticks

Mark Messier’s Game-Used Hockey Sticks: A Testament to Greatness

An Icon in the World of Hockey

Mark Messier, revered as one of the greatest NHL players of all time, has left an indelible mark on the sport. With a career that boasts an astounding 1,887 regular season points, 295 playoff points, and 1,756 regular season games played, Messier’s legacy is unparalleled. His remarkable achievements include winning six Stanley Cups and being the only player to captain two different professional teams to championships. In 2007, his illustrious career was rightfully honored with an induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Sticks of a Champion

Among the treasured artifacts from Messier’s storied career are two hockey sticks that stand as symbols of his excellence on the ice. The first stick is a “SHERWOOD” manufactured “MP 7000 FEATHER-BALANCED,” while the other is a “TPS LOUISVILLE.” Both sticks proudly display “MESSIER” towards the top and “Fabrique au Canada” towards the bottom, signifying their Canadian craftsmanship. These sticks were presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, they show use.

A Signature of Authenticity

Adding to the allure of these sticks is Messier’s signature, which graces the bottom of the Sherwood stick in blue marker, accompanied by the inscription “1990.” In our expert opinion, the signature rates a 7. However, due to the rushed nature of the autograph, JSA was inconclusive and will not be issuing a letter of authenticity. Despite this, the sticks remain a captivating piece of hockey memorabilia, offering a tangible connection to one of the sport’s most legendary figures.
