1978-79 Rogie Vachon Game-Used Stick

Rogatien Rosaire Vachon, born September 8, 1945, had one of the great careers in the NHL. Starting out in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens in 1966-67, he made a name for himself in almost no time. In 1967-68, he shared the Vezina Trophy with Gump Worsley and was a member of the 1968, 1969, and 1971 Stanley Cup Winning Canadiens teams. Moving onto Los Angeles in 1971-72, Vachon became the face of the Kings, recording six straight 20+ win seasons. He was then acquired by the Red Wings for a two season stretch from 1978-1980, and then by the Boston Bruins for a two season stretch from 1980-1982.

​In his 795 game NHL career, Vachon recorded 355 wins, 291 losses, 127 ties, 51 shutouts, a 2.99GAA, and a 0.896% save average.
He also played in 48 playoff games, and recorded a 23-23 record with two shutouts, a 2.77GAA and a 0.907% save average.

This stick was used by Rogie Vachon during his stint with the Detroit Red Wings. An interesting quirk about Vachon had to do with his goaltending sticks. According to hockeygoalies.org, Vachon always re-wrapped his stick at the conclusion of every period, and he never used his game sticks in team practices, nor during the pre-game warmup. The few puck marks on the stick are a testament to this quirk.
