Pair of Team Canada 1972 team-signed sticks are from the personal collection of the late Gary Bergman. Featured is a vintage and rare Bobby Orr game-issued Victoriaville stick with the red and white Team Canada bands around the bottom of the shaft that displays 30 black marker autographs gathered at training camp. The stick has suffered some water damage but most of the autographs are still legible and include those of Orr, Dryden, Cournoyer, Tony Esposito, the Mahovlich brothers, Clarke, Savard and Lapointe, among others. The other-team signed stick features 23 signatures from the likes of the Esposito brothers, Clarke, Henderson, Frank Mahovlich and others gathered at a reunion on an Ilka Sinisalo game-issued stick with an Oct. 11, 1984 date stamp. Comes with an LOA from the Bergman family.
The front of the shaft of the Orr team-signed stick was shaved bare for the autographs to be applied. Dionne, Cashman, Johnston, Redmond, Goldsworthy, Tallon, Dennis Hull, Gilbert and Berenson are among the other autographs on the stick, which has “4 B Orr” stamped on the shaft.
The front of the shaft of the Sinisalo stick was sanded to obscure the printing for the ballpoint autographs to be applied. Parise, Hadfield, Cashman, Glennie, White, Ratelle, Tallon, Seiling, Dennis Hull, Bergman and Redmond are among the other signatures on the Titan TPM 2020 stick with “I.Sinisalo” stamped on the shaft.
