It is a Louisville TPS Fiber Force wooden stick that shows decent overall use with all original tape on the blade and knob. It has stick wax on the blade tape, TKACHUK stamping on the upper shaft below the #7 and is autographed nicely by him on the lower front shaft. Keith also wore MATTHEW #1 in blue pen on the stick's butt end. That was a tribute to his first-born child on December 11, 1997. In 1999, he began writing Matthew + Braeden for his second son who was born in September of that year.
Matthew Tkachuk is now a star with the Florida Panthers while Brady Tkachuk is captain of the Ottawa Senators and also an NHL all-star. This stick was obtained directly from the Coyotes in 1998 before Tkachuk switched to a different style of Louisville sticks. Great item for any stick collector and/or fan of Tkachuk who may make the Hall of Fame someday with other 500-plus goal scorers. M ONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF NOT SATISFIED.
