The stick that has hung in front of the Cowichan Community Centre since 1988 is 62.5 metres long, but a new arena complex in Illinois has a 76-metre-long hockey stick in the works

The Cowichan Valley’s claim to be the home of the world’s largest hockey stick could be shot down by plans for an even bigger stick in a city in Illinois.

Its place as the largest hockey stick on Earth was authenticated in the 2010 Guinness Book of Records. It’s also mentioned at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Besides, it’s fun to have something that the area is known for, like the biggest hockey stick, Staples added. The CVRD called the local stick “a community icon” that has played a role in the region’s overall economic development through the years.
