Circa 1995 hartford whaler Game Used Goalie Stick

Born on February 3, 1970, in Toronto, Ontario, Jason Muzzatti was drafted 21st overall by Calgary in 1988 after having a standout college career. After finishing his University career, Muzzatti transitioned to the pros in the IHL, where he did average. On October 16, 1993, his opportunity came when he was given the start in goal against the LA Kings. His debut did not fare well as he surrendered eight goals on thirty five shots. He played one additional game with Calgary the following season before being placed on waivers and getting acquired by the Hartford Whalers. There, he was the full time back-up for two seasons, appearing in 53 total games and recording competent numbers. After Hartford moved to Carolina, Muzzatti was traded to the New York Rangers with whom he played six games, and then traded later that season to San Jose where he played one game. After that season, Muzzatti returned to Europe to play and closed out his career at the conclusion of the 2006-07 season. He has since taken up coaching. In 2017-18, he was the goaltending coach of Michigan State University and has since worked his way up to being the goalie coach for the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL. 

In his NHL career, Muzzatti appeared in 62 NHL games and recorded a 13-25-10 record with one shutout, one assist, a 3.33GAA, and a 0.894% save average. He appeared in zero playoff games.

The piece you are looking at right now is a Hartford Whalers era used stick of Muzzatti's consistent in style with the brand and taping style of his sticks at the beginning of the 1995-96 season.
