neat piece on NHL players who collect sticks from other players, how they get them and how hard some are to collect.
Ovie has 60 , including Brett Hull, Lemieux and Gretzy

usually they ask a player maybe at a faceoff or during warmups...but Jagr apparently doesn't give his out so sometimes you have to get clever or devious.

JAson spezza said it took him almost 4 yrs of asking Jagr before he finally got one, but Matt Duchene had another route:

Colorado’s Duchene has an even better Jagr stick story.

“[Devils goaltender] Cory Schneider is a friend of mine, so when [Jagr] was in Jersey, I asked Schneids to get me one,†Duchene said. “He got me one, put it aside and someone stole it before it got to me. It took two more years to get one.â€
