Background: The concept of this product has been in the works for over three years. How can we showcase hockey history in a unique yet sophisticated manner? With this help of a watch craftsman we solved the puzzle on how to upcycle historic used hockey sticks into classic timepieces.
This limited edition watch is constructed using the iconic 1965 CCM Hook and Rocker hockey stick employed by famous NHLers and the public they inspired.
Why we chose this stick: CCM’s history goes as far back as 1899, and the company's gear dominance was in full effect for the first half of the 20th century. CCM produced helmets, skates, and sticks with over 90% of NHLers wearing their gear in the first half of the century. Competitors made more noise in the subsequent decades but during the 1960s, CCM Hooks and Rockers represented the beginning of the new “curved blade” era. Icons Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull began curving their blades in the sixties and led the NHL in scoring titles. CCM caught on by offering “Hooks and Rockers” to the public to bring their game to the next level, and the hockey stick was changed forever.
Limited Edition: Only 25 of this design are available for purchase based on the available wood material in the stick.
