This black Heaton Helite IV goalie stick was game used by Devils future HOFer Martin Brodeur.  Brodeur is boldly establishing staggering career totals and will go down in history as the man who turned around the fortunes of a once fledgling franchise. Martin now has more wins than any other goalie in NHL history, breaking Patrick Roy's record this season and finishing with 557.

Brodeur's record of consecutive 30-win seasons (12) came to an end this season as he played in only 31 game due to injury. He is also the only goalie in NHL history to have seven 40+ win seasons with a record breaking 48 wins in 2006-07. With 15 years under his belt, he has yet to have a season where his Goals Against Average was over a 2.70 and he has already recorded two seasons at a sub 2.00 GAA leaving him with a career GAA of 2.21. Martin and his 101 career regular season shutouts are also taking aim at the all-time record which is held by Terry Sawchuk at 103. If you combine playoff shutouts with regular season shutouts, Brodeur is already the all-time record holder with 123.

As impressive as his regular season success are his staggering playoff totals; with 95 playoff wins, 22 shutouts and a 1.96 GAA, he is leaving his mark as one of the all-time greats. In his trophy case already are (3) Stanley Cups, a Calder Trophy for rookie of the year, (4) Jennings trophies for allowing the fewest goals in a season, (4) Vezina Trophies awarded to the NHL’s top goaltender and an Olympic Gold Medal. He is a 10-time NHL All Star and will undoubtedly be a Hall of Fame legend upon retirement.

This black Heaton goalie stick has the player name "M. Brodeur" stamped on the side. The stick is date stamped "21 DEC 1998".  It is fully taped on the butt and blade.  Martin has also autographed this stick on the blade.
