I could use a new stick. Please pm me.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

Ya I'd buy a nexus for sure

 

[Vaclav Varada]

I lol'd at the 2nd thief who took 3 tries to get out the door.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

charging 300 bones for a hockey stick is the real crime.

Employee says "They knew where they were going and what they were after, it only took then THREE trips."

WTF were the employees doing?

or maybe they were the ones stealing the sticks

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

Two guys in a white van made off with 128 top-end sticks from the Marc Sports store on Maloney Boulevard on the night of Jan. 12.

Gotta watch out for guys in white vans, they're always trouble.

That is not true! Come see my van. It is clean and comfy inside. I put cardboard down so no one would have to lay down, I mean sit on the cold metal. Do you like Swedish Berries or Skittles?

 

[harvey]

Ah remember a mafia "hit" back in the 80s? on Preston Street,
white van again...

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I wonder what you'd actually do with the sticks now. Selling them on Kijiji would be pretty damn obvious, and it's not like black market hockey stick sales would fly on the streets.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

charging 300 bones for a hockey stick is the real crime.

can confirm

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

300 bucks for a hockey stick. Insane.

On the surface, yes, but when you think about it, they likely stole the most expensive sticks, ie. pro level. Any pro level equipment is expensive.. look at baseball bats, cleats or skates, etc etc.

If a guy tried selling me a brand new stick for 100-150 out of his van, I'd buy it no questions asked.

If you're looking for good cheap hockey sticks, go to the Sens store. I just bought a slightly used Gryba Apx2 for 100 bucks.

yes, some of the used sticks are in really good shape. I have a good collection of sens sticks and some i got there.

 

[Qward]

Don't the sticks have a warranty?
If you break it you get a replacement?

I only use the cheap wood ones for beer league.

I guess I'm not the only one.

This seems like a thing that people around the world with think "only in Canada".

Lmao, this reads like a scene right out of Trailer Park Boys. Ricky stumbles in intoxicated and struggles three times to jam the sticks through the door. Aside: these ******** are the ones charging "absorbitant" prices for a ******* stick. They're the thieves if you think about it, so we're just sellin them on the market for a fair price. It's all about supply and command.
