Petr Sykora carries a hot stick.

Hockey stick that is, you pervs.
I don't know about his other 'stick'; we'll leave that up to his wife.



Anyhoo, I bought this game-used auto'd stick on May 5th at the Oilers locker room sale.
Half price it was. $149.99 instead of 299.99. Deal and a half cuz Petr is an UFA in July and may (not) be coming back to the Oilers. The Hemsky stick was only discounted $50, $249.99 down from $299.99, so Sykora it was! I was actually going for a Jarret Stoll stick, but season ticket holders were allowed in before the 10 am start time, and I arrived at about 10:30, so most of the sticks were gone by then. Interesting that Stoll and Sykora both use blue Easton Stealth sticks though.




The first thing I noticed about Sykora's stick is that he cuts the toe off the blade, making it flat instead of rounded. Not being a hockey player myself, ( I can't skate backwards to save my life) I don't know if this is common practice or not. Sykora does like to spend a lot of time working on his sticks though.



It has a nice hand-crafted curve to it as well.



Maybe he used my stick to score a goal, who knows?
If not, at least his autograph is pretty.


Just in case you are an amateur and wanted to use this stick. Think again.
