Session 1 Live and On-line June 20th, 7:30 PM EST (Lots 1-43)

Really nice example of a Mario Lemieux game used stick. Taped exactly the way it should be for Mario gamers, this type Koho was in the hands of Lemieux during the late 80s. Mario used this Silverfibre stick in the 1987 Canada Cup, while stick handling his way to super star status. It shows really nice wear all over with one small piece of fibre glass missing from the side of the stick. No other areas have any damage other than showing perfect game use. The photos all show Super Mario wielding these Koho sticks. The Canada Cup picture is from 1987 and the playoff game from 1987 in New Jersey. The other photo is from a game during the 1988 season playing against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the last one is from a playoff game in Philadelphia in 1989. This stick comes from the Gaetan Lefebvre collection, long time athletic trainer for the Montreal Canadiens. Mario played all his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins. His career spanned a seemingly short 13 seasons from 1984 to 1997, when he was unanimously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame with out the normal 3 year waiting period. Super Mario finished with 690 goals, 1,033 assists while only playing in 915 games. Drafted first overall by the Penguins in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Lemieux led Pittsburgh to consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1991 and 1992. Under his ownership, the Penguins won additional titles in 2009, 2016, and 2017. He is the only man to have his name on the Cup both as a player and owner. He also led Team Canada to an Olympic gold medal in 2002, a championship at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, and a Canada Cup in 1987. He won the Lester B. Pearson Award as the most outstanding player voted by the players four times, the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player (MVP) during the regular season three times, the Art Ross Trophy as the league's points leader six times, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP in 1991 and 1992. He is the only player to score one goal in each of the five possible situations in a single NHL game, a feat he accomplished in 1988. At the time of his retirement, he was the NHL's seventh-highest career points scorer with 690 goals and 1,033 assists. He ranks second in NHL history with a 0.754 career goals-per-game average, behind Mike Bossy (0.762). He ranks second in NHL history with a 1.129 career assists-per-game average and a 1.883 points-per-game average, both behind Wayne Gretzky (1.320 and 1.921, respectively).
