What stick does Andreas Athanasiou use?
Speedy forward Andreas Athanasiou had a nice year in Chicago, notching 20 goals in his first season in the Windy City. With Bedard coming to town, all eyes will be on the Blackhawks, and they will be counting on Athanasiou to be a big point producer after inking him to a new 2 year deal this offseason.
Athanasiou rocks pretty much exclusively Warrior gear from head to toe, and is one of the few NHLers using the retail colorway of the LX Pro. He briefly experimented with a Hyperlite graphic around Christmastime (when many pros were testing the AG5NT), but quickly found his way back to his preferred 85 flex Alpha twig.
Athanasiou's curve is a pretty unique pattern comparable to the old Pro Kovalev. It starts very straight through the heel, then opens up and hooks dramatically in the final third. The blade is finished with a sandpaper texture, which is one of our favourite customizations to see from pros.
We've got a big new haul of Warrior pro stock sticks hitting inventory tomorrow - stay tuned!
