Help. Game used Hossa Stick

[stasman]

Members. I recently obtained this Marian Hossa game used signed stick from a collector. The stick was obtained from a charity auction when Hossa was with the redwings. The interesting thing is the red tape used on the handle. The only image I found of a Hossa with a red tape stick was the one of him on the Cover of a Sports Illustrated. Do you think this could be that stick? The one he used for the photo shoot then to play with? Thanks
