On the eve of securing an impressive four consecutive Stanley Cups as world champions, the New York Islanders in the late-1970s boasted an incredibly skilled squad, rife with HOF talent including Mike Bossy, Denis Potvin, Bryan Trottier, Clark Gilles and Billy Smith. We have a team-signed stick used by Wayne Merrick circa-1978, along with a second team-signed Islanders stick from 1979-80. The Merrick stick is a KOHO 221 Custom Pro model with “Merrick” on the upper shaft, with the original tape over the blade and knob intact. Approx. 15 have signed the front side of the shaft in fiber-tip marker including Bossy, Potvin, Merrick, Resch, Westfall, Lorimer, Harris, Lewis and others. The stick shows thorough use, with wear to the blade along with marks to the lower shaft. The second stick is a matching KOHO 221 Custom Pro model, with 18 signatures placed across the backside of the shaft, including Trottier, Bossy, Gillies, Tonelli, Nystrom, Sutter, Morrow, Resch and others. The signatures display well, with just a few examples bleeding into the material.
