Nobody is going to buy it if it's wood except very new beginners to the sport or ones playing street hockey/ball. I see 6-10-year-old kids already having one-piece composite sticks by True, Bauer, or CCM.
The effort of getting paid to allow some company to use your name.Good to see someone at least making an effort.
The senior sticks are 3 for $109. That’s a pretty good deal for people getting into the sport. $350 could outfit a whole Learn To Play team with sticks (well, a 9 person team… but that’s fine for LTP).
The big question of course is quality. $30 wood sticks exist but are pretty much garbage. If this is a reasonably usable stick with the Gretzky name on it, that makes a bit of difference in people’s willingness to use it.

All Gretzky has done since retiring is make money of his name and he is entitled to do that but to make it sound like signing with a smaller company is somehow doing anything beneficial for the game or "making hockey more affordable" is bullshit.He could’ve put his name on some name-brand $300 stick and raked in a lot more cash.
Instead he’s putting his name on an off-brand $30 stick.
That’s a deliberate choice that shows leadership in thinking about the greater state of the game rather than his own wallet.
