Duncan, B.C., could soon lose record for world's largest hockey stick to U.S. town

A battle of who has the biggest hockey stick in the world is brewing outside of rinks in Canada and the U.S.

A battle of who has the biggest hockey stick in the world is brewing outside of rinks in Canada and the U.S.

Currently, the world's largest hockey stick is located in North Cowichan, B.C.

The massive 66-metre, or 218-foot, behemoth weighs 28 tonnes, or as much as six and a half elephants.

The hockey stick is made out of steel and Douglas fir, and is certified as the world's largest hockey stick in the Guinness Book of World Records.

"It’s a symbol or our town," said area resident Ron Painter.

"It’s huge," added seven-year-old Sahara Skye.

But, the massive hockey stick may not hold the record for long.
