Great game used stick dates to the 1998-99 season, the first year Hall of Famer Ron Francis took the ice for the Carolina Hurricanes. Franklin 8050 "Graphite Compression Composite" stick shows extensive use with original tape on butt end and blade, and a small crack near the blade. Francis has signed in 9/10 black marker on the front of the blade, a great touch from the two-time Stanley Cup Champion, who spent 16 of his 23 NHL seasons playing for the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes franchise, with his 1,795 career points currently ranking 5th all time.
