Sidelined for a good portion of the 1992–93 NHL regular season with a back injury, Gretzky still managed an especially impressive 65 points in just 45 games, with an additional 40 points during the playoffs! An Easton Aluminum model, “Gretzky” factory graphics appear over the upper shaft, with this repeated on the stem of the inserted wooden Easton blade. Codes have been handwritten by Kings’ trainer Peter Millar over the top of the knob, including "P93", with a line and the number "53" placed below. Exhibiting just very light game use, there are a few minor marks and abrasions to the lower shaft. We should note that the stick was gifted to a Maple Leafs employee, and due to the light game use visible, the stick may have been given to that employee from the rack of prepared sticks for the Leafs/Kings Clarence Campbell Conference Final series.
The original Gripper is intact on the handle, with the blade tape removed (traces are visible) to facilitate the large black marker Gretzky signature with personalization (somewhat faded) and “1993” added. Gretzky scored a hat trick against Toronto in Game 7 of the Campbell Conference finals, this victory carried Los Angeles to their first Stanley Cup finals in franchise history!
Addendum; the stick shows very light game use, if any, but it is unknown if it was gifted to the Leafs employee directly unused (game ready), or used for a few shifts and gifted afterwards. Please also note that the title has been changed to reflect this information to; Wayne Gretzky's 1992-93 Los Angeles Kings Signed Easton Aluminum Game Ready/Game-Used Playoffs Stick.
