What are the specs on Auston Matthews Christmas stick?
Christmas? In July? This Auston Matthews stick is worth a Spec Check any day of the year!
Auston Matthews is one of hockey's biggest superstars, and has been getting the VIP treatment from CCM for a few years now. We can count the number of NHLers who use full custom graphics on one hand, but Papi has had a steady stream of them for the past couple seasons. This one might be the best of the bunch, and not just because it is for a good cause - Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
Inspired by the @vancityreynolds Ugly Christmas Sweater, the graphic on this stick has some of the coolest details we've ever seen, with unique references to the holidays, Sick Kids hospital, the Maple Leafs, and Matthews himself throughout the stick. Despite Matthews typically using Jetspeed graphics, this stick has Ribcor construction; though there is nothing on the graphic to identify it as such.
We love when manufacturers go all out to design full custom graphics for their biggest stars, especially when it's for such an amazing cause. Kudos to Matthews, CCM, and SickKids for this twig - we can't want to see what they come up with next year!
