NHL Digest:
The World’s largest hockey stick was found during a quick search on Flickr. At first we thought we would find Zdeno Chara’s stick, but we were mistaken.
Zdeno Chara shoots Left and this giant stick at the Cowichan Community Centre in Duncan, British Columbia is a Right-Hand shot!
Thanks to bcanna for the image!
Facts on the World’s Biggest Hockey Stick & Puck:
The World’s Largest Hockey Stick & Puck is 40 times life size.
The shaft and blade of the stick are made in sections with steel-reinforced Douglas Fir beams measuring 3 foot by 4 foot (91.44 cm by 1.2192 m) for a total length of 205 feet (62.48 metres).
The stick weighs 28,118 kg (61,000 pounds) and was built in Penticton BC. The final product was trucked to Vancouver in two pieces, spliced together on the ground, then lifted into position on August 21, 1985.
After the fair in Vancouver, the hockey stick was transported to Vancouver Island by barge and 3 flat bed trucks exactly two years late...
