Hockey Fanatics Finally Have the Chance to be the Ultimate Hockey Fan

Toronto, CA (PRWeb) December 13, 2006 -- The current owner of the World's Oldest Hockey Stick has decided to do his bit for hockey fans around the world and place the most prized possession for auction on eBay. And what's better is that proceeds will benefit charities around the World.

The current owner of the stick, Gord Sharpe believes that the rareness of the stick will interest a broad range of hockey fans. "We realize a potential buyer may be a corporation that uses the stick to promote their brand, an art collector, or even a Canadian celebrity like Mike Myers. We welcome all eligible buyers."

Gord Sharpe is the founder of fanscharity.com and The World's Charity Award Program, which can be found at Wayne Gretzky's Restaurant in downtown Toronto. The proceeds from the sale of the World's Oldest Hockey Stick will be filtered directly back into fanscharity.com, an organization that promotes the importance of charities Worldwide.

The World's Oldest Hockey Stick has been seen by over 100 million viewers on CNN, CBC and in the National Post. The stick has been appraised at over 4.25 million USD, and is estimated to be over 60-years older than the NHL.

In addition to the stick, the winning bidder will receive a custom-built "Evolution of Hockey" display case and recorded footage and authentication information on the history of the artifact. Authentication facts can be viewed at www.fanscharity.com.

The World's Oldest Hockey Stick is being placed for auction on eBay by Auctionwire. The auction will run from December 10th at 8:30 p.m. and will run until December 20th at 8:30 p.m.
