Very interesting and rare Wayne Gretzky gamer here. This stick was given to long time Montreal Canadiens Equipment man, Pierre Gervais, in 1987. If you look closely at the Gretzky name stamp, it reads GRETZYK. A mistake done at the factory and you can see how easily it could happen as its hard to notice. This is one of a very few that had this error on it. I wonder if anyone even noticed other than us collectors. This sweet stick shows incredible wear and was used during the Oilers Stanley Cup run in 1987 in which they took the cup in 7 games over the Philadelphia flyers. It is signed to Pierre on the lower shaft.
Blue gauze tape was only used by the great one for the 1987 season after which he had blue grippers for the job. Perfect game used stick wielded by Gretzky on his way to another Stanley Cup Victory.
Perfect tape job, date stamped and coded with lots of use, this twig has it all for a Gretzky stick.
Thanks for having a look and enjoy your day.
