Rendezvous 1987

[RadioGaGa 162]

I was watching some of the Rendezvous 87 NHL v Russian and the commentators were talking about Wayne Gretzky's stick. They made pointed out how he was using a $37 hockey stick. They also commented that as of 1987, Wayne had not broken a stick in his pro career ('79-'87).

They also talked about how the Oilers had a $25,000 budget for sticks that Wayne would use, and then give to various charities etc...to raise money.

Kind of interesting given today's hockey stick landscape

outside of Aluminum the only sticks I recall being more than the traditional woodies which were $25ish..alaGretz's normal Titan TPM 2020 were the Jofa Black Shot, Titan Turbo (which I don't think he would ever use ) and the Koho Xl5 or something like that..which was almost as round as their gloves in that line..
