This Louiville TPS hockey stick was game used by Blues power forward Keith Tkachuk. Tkachuk has been one of the game’s premier power forwards since breaking onto the scene in 1992 with the Winnipeg Jets. His career has been split predominantly between 3 cities, Winnipeg, Phoenix and St. Louis, where he has patrolled the wing for most of the past 7 seasons.
Born in Melrose Massachusetts, the heart and soul of USA hockey is clearly headed for the Hockey Hall of Fame. His statistics are rather impressive, having notched goal number 500 as 2007-08 came to a close and ending this season with 525. He has tabbed nearly a point per game with over 1000 in the till. Not to be forgotten are his almost 2200 PIMS. A 50-goal scorer with over 2000 PIMS places Keith in select company. Numerous NHL All Star appearances and victories in international competitions such as the 1996 World Cup further add to his resume.
This Louisville TPS stick has the player name "Tkachuk" stamped on the side. It is fully taped on the butt and blade. Keith has also autographed this stick on the heel.
