NHL legend Wayne Gretzky's stick that he used during the Edmonton Oilers' series-clinching win in the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals sold for a record price on Friday.

The stick sold at a Sotheby's auction for $336,000, setting an all-time record for a game-used NHL hockey stick (h/t ESPN's Dan Hajducky).

The stick was previously owned by Rick Elaschuk, a longtime employee of the Oilers. Gretzky also signed the stick after securing the first of four total Stanley Cup wins throughout his career.

Per Hajducky, 22 bidders were responsible for 79 total bids on the stick before it was eventually sold.
