S3This is a game used stick belonging to Gilles Tremblay of the Montreal Canadiens. I've had this stick for a couple of decades or more. I used to collect Canadiens memorabilia. This stick had many signatures back when I first had it, I even put yellow stickers with the players names beside each autograph, which are still on the stick. Unfortunately, the autographs have since all but disappeared. You can still see where the players signed it but they are illegible. It's possible that if this stick was varnished that some of them would be visible again, but I don't want to be the one who tries that. I'm not selling it as an autographed stick. I believe that this stick was signed at some function, because of autographs it had on it, which includes ... Bob Nevin, Phil Esposito, Gordie Howe, Pat Stapleton, Ted Harris, Bobby Hull, Dennis Hull, Rod Gilbert, Frank Mahovlich, JC Tremblay, Jean Beliveau and Toe Blake. There were other ones on it as well, twice as many of I recall, but didn't figure out who those signatures were of. Theres a small hole in the "M" of CCM, I guess where it hung somewhere some time.
