Description and Significance

This Warrior Dolomite stick was used by Jason Arnott, a veteran NHL center and team captain of the Nashville Predators, during the 2007–2008 season. The Dolomite was one of Warrior’s flagship carbon-fiber composite sticks, known for its balanced weight and responsive blade design favored by power forwards and precision shooters alike.

​

The stick’s surface exhibits puck marks, scuffing, and characteristic shaft abrasion from regular use. The autographed silver and black inscriptions add further value, linking the artifact directly to Arnott’s period as team captain. It stands as a representative example of mid-2000s composite technology and of the leadership core that defined Nashville’s competitive identity in that era.
