Yeah, I have seen it several times. Juan is correct, it was built for a Worlds Fair called Expo 86 in Vancouver, Canada. The stick and puck are now attached to the Cowichan Community Centre in Duncan, British Columbia. Duncan is located on Vancouver Island. After Expo 86 the Province of BC held a competition to select a community to host the stick and puck. The Cowichan Valley obviously won that competition.

The stick is 205 feet long and weights over 60,000 pounds.

One interesting fact, for me anyways, is that the stick and puck were created by Structurlam Industries in my hometown of Penticton, British Columbia.

It's located in Cowichan Valley, British Columbia. The hockey stick was made for Expo 86. After Expo 86 the city of Cowichan won it's bid to hold the stick and the puck. The stick is 205 feet long and weights over 60,000 pounds( so much, I'd probably get crushed). And yes I've seen it (I live in Cowichan Valley).

Yes. The largest hockey stick and puck was made for Expo 1986 in Vancouver Canada and later moved to the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.

I drive by it in front of their arena near the highway several times a year.

This one is 205 feet long. Another one claims to be largest that was built later, but it is half the length.

Yes, I saw it at Expo 86 in Vancouver. It was a good place to meet your friends if you got lost in the crowd. In Vancouver it was displayed vertically. I knew they moved it to a community in BC, but didn't know where until now. Thanks for the question.

PS. The stick from Expo is 205 feet long. Eveleth, Minnesota claims to have the worlds largest stick too, but its stick is 107 feet long.
