The Ghost of Matt Pettinger

This morning's Caps Equipment sale went very well, or at least better than it had gone the last time it was held at Kettler. There was a 4 stick maximum, which left quite a few nice sticks for the many local players hoping to find some decent gear on the cheap. My crew of adult league skaters and high school players each managed to find something they were pleased with.

As I mentioned as a partial joke in an earlier post, there have been a few Matt Pettinger sticks at every equipment sale for the past few years. Matt's Last season in Washington was 2007-2008, so you'd think most of these things would be long gone. Once again, the Ghost of Matt Pettinger showed at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.

No less than a half dozen of these twigs stood along the wall during the sale, and not a one was purchased. I guess we'll be seeing these guys again next year.
