5K worth of Chara's sticks show up at NJ mans house

[transplant99]

Ariel Ben-Abraham ripped open a shipping box from China on Monday expecting to find accessories for his clothing company. Instead, he found a bundle of jumbo-sized hockey sticks intended for Washington Capitals star Zdeno Chara that had been randomly delivered to a basketball fan in suburban New Jersey.

"This has to take the cake as the strangest thing I've gotten by mistake," Ben-Abraham told ESPN. "Future Hall of Famer's sticks, for the tallest player in NHL history? That's crazy. Those odds don't even make sense."

Ben-Abraham runs a clothing company called Create Supply and receives FedEx shipments daily, especially from China. He gets boxes of all shapes and sizes. He opened up a shipment from China on Monday to find clothing in one box, LED signs in another box and then, to his surprise, a "bunch of hockey sticks that are like 30 feet tall."

Stick prices these days plus custom made for Chara - that’s probably 5 sticks.

How is Chara going to cross-check everyone in the back without his sticks?

He can just go out there with a big tree root. It would be about the same.

Kind of expected a shot of the guy who got the stick posing with one, the butt end two feet over his head.
