What Stick Does Jakub Voracek Use?
It seems like we have sadly seen the last games of Jakub Voracek's NHL career. After over 1000 games with the Flyers and Blue Jackets. He's recently been serving as an assistant coach with Jaromir Jagr's Rytíři Kladno in the Czech Extraliga. Valentine's Day has us thinking pink, so what better day to Spec Check this stick with one of our favourite graphics of all time.
This pink CCM Tacks twig probably hasn't seen the ice in over a decade, but when you truly love something you never want to let it go. With a graphic this awesome, it makes sense to us that it kicked around the Flyers' dressing room for years as Voracek's measuring stick. If you're hanging onto a twig to use as reference when prepping new sticks, it may as well be your best looking one!
More recent Voracek sticks we've seen have had very similar specs. For parts of his last season in Columbus, Jakub used a blue FT5 Pro graphic with this same flex and curve, though he added some height to the blade on what is now a P29 Max.
Despite the clear "do not take" warning on the extension, we happily acquired this twig during a recent Philly pickup. Hopefully Voracek was able to find new measuring sticks in Columbus and now back home in Czechia, though it'd be tough to top this one!
