The earliest surviving hockey stick is a hand-carved piece of solid hickory dating back to between 1852 and 1856, around the time hockey was invented. Estimated in value around $2 million dollars, it is an important piece of hockey history. At time time, hockey sticks were made out of durable hardwood, either hickory or birch. The shafts and blade were straight, and it wasn't until the 1920s that the traditional shape, with a shorter and wider blade, became popular.
It is known as the 'Moffatt stick'. It was crafted between 1835-38, near North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The 'provenance' and 'scientific evidence' both support the period of crafting. The 'provenance' or 'ownership history', was compiled by the stick's current owner, Mark Presley. Oral and genealogical evidence was graciously provided by the Moffatt family. Additional evidence was provided by leading experts in local history, material culture, tool/technologies and hockey origins. Scientific analysis was conducted by Mount Allison University's Dendrochronology and Electron-Microscopy Labs over a period of two years. Both the growth rings and painted surface of the Moffatt stick were meticulously studied and the findings are documented.
