The Wayne Gretzky of Wayne Gretzky collectors has netted big bucks for old pucks after an auction of some of his choicest memorabilia closed Wednesday. Shawn Chaulk, a construction contractor from Fort McMurray, Alta., received more than $500,000 for a collection of jerseys, skates, helmets, gloves and pucks used in action by the Great One. About $350,000 came from one item alone -- the jersey Gretzky wore in the 1986-87 season when he scored his 500th NHL goal and won the Stanley Cup with the Edmonton Oilers. Chaulk said those deals may be dwarfed by those yet to come, as private buyers sniff around whats left of what was probably the greatest Gretzky collection ever assembled. "While we were busy auctioning this group of stuff out the front door, there was a lineup of people knocking on the back door looking for private deals," said Chaulk. "In one single transaction this week, I sold a group of five items for over $100,000." Chaulk, a 45-year-old quick-to-smile former Newfoundlander, had amassed a collection that made grown men weak in the knees -- memorabilia from the worlds best player from the sports last great dynasty. The items most recently on auction included pieces of hockey history including: -- The puck Gretzky shot to score his 500th goal ($22,400). -- The skates he wore for that milestone marker ($19,500). -- A Jofa helmet worn during Gretzkys last year in the Western Hockey League and first year as an Oiler ($13,000). -- A No. 99 practice bib and jersey ($14,000). -- A selection of sticks from all-star games as well as from Gretzkys time with the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers ($1,433 to $2,310). Bargain items? The socks he wore in the 1984 Campbell Conference all-star game could have been yours for a mere $875. Those prices dont include the 20 per cent buyers premium. Chaulk said hes generally pleased with the prices his artifacts fetched. "It was a lot of fun," he said. "I thought maybe the jersey might go higher, as did most people in the hobby. "But auctions are fickle. Youre lucky to have two people bid against each other at those levels." Still, the 500-goal jersey went back and forth through 29 bids. It may be the second-most expensive hockey jersey ever purchased. The one worn by Paul Henderson during the 1972 series against the Russians last sold for $1.2 million. The online auction opened in mid-May and closed early Wednesday as the last bids trickled in. Chaulk wasnt glued to the bidding, but those who were kept him plugged in. "I sat in my office all last night and worked," he said. "And as I was working I was fielding emails and texts from people all around the globe." Although Chaulk has a pretty good idea of who some of the bidders were, the buyers are confidential. He is pleased to note that two of the pucks -- including the 500-goal biscuit -- will stay in Fort McMurray. Chaulk doesnt plan to sell his entire stash, but he has plenty more Gretzky memorabilia for sale. The players game-used sticks alone number over 100 and range from one used in the 1978 world junior tournament from one used in Gretzkys last game with the New York Rangers in 1999. Chaulk hints one buyer is talking about picking up pretty much all thats left for $1.7 million -- about the yearly price of a third-line NHLer. Chaulk said that lot could wind up in a combination restaurant, hotel and museum devoted to The Shawn Chaulk Collection. "That would be pretty cool." Whats next? Chaulk doesnt know. His collection has already brought him all sorts of new friends, unlikely contacts and precious memories, from hanging out at the Sundance Film Festival with Gretzky fan and filmmaker Kevin Smith to touring the collection with The Great One himself. Nor have those opportunities stopped. After it heard of Chaulks hoard, a production company contacted him about getting involved with a reality TV show. Its all mushroomed pretty big for someone who just started buying game-used gear because it made him feel close to the game he loves. But there are no regrets to bidding goodbye to whats been a big part of his life. "I hold firm to the fun Ive had with this -- the challenges, the chase, the experiences, the people. Its awesome. "I cant sell that. Thatll be with me for ever."Griffin Canning Jersey . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team.

That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected.Light heavyweight contender Vyacheslav Slava Shabranskyy made his name as a fighter to watch in the division largely on the basis of a decision win against formidable Yunieski Gonzalez in December 2015.Now Shabranskyy (17-0, 14 KOs), 29, a Ukraine native living in Los Angeles, hopes to further enhance his growing reputation, and perhaps put himself in line for a world title shot, with a win against the best opponent of his career in Sullivan Barrera, whom he will fight in a 10-round match on Friday (HBO Latino, 10 p.m. ET/PT) at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.It feels great [to be in the main event], Shabranskyy said. Its a huge accomplishment for my career. It shows me that I am close to the level that I want to be at, and that I am closer to the fights I want. It is a step in the direction of where I desire my career to go.Sullivan is one of the toughest opponents I have faced yet, Shabranskyy said. Hes faced fighters like Andre Ward and has gone the distance and has demonstrated his skill. Knowing that he needs [to win] this fight will make him even more hungry in the ring, and we are expecting him to come forward. With this fight, I [might] get the opportunity to face opponents like Andre Ward. But first things first -- I have to finish Barrera.We never say we are going for the knock out. Thats not my style. We train to go the distance, especially knowing he has been under the care of a new trainer, so we dont know what kind of Barrera we are going to get.Shabranskyy attributes much of his improvement from the amateur game to professional boxing to trainer Manny Robles, who has had a breakout 2016 thanks to the world title victories of featherweight Oscar Valdez and junior featherweight Jessie Magdaleno, not to mention the continued development of rising middleweight prospect Jason Quigley, who will appear on Fridays non-televised undercard.Since coming here, meeting Manny Robles, and becoming a professional, its completely different [than training in Ukraine]. Its completely changed me, said Shabranskyy, who began boxing at age 13. When I first came here, my mentality was to just come and fight and get inside the ring. Manny had to tell me to take it easy, to refocus, and take it one fight at a time. Los Angeles isnt a pit stop. Its become my second home.Shabranskyy also picked up valuable experience when he served as a sparring partner for Bernard Hopkins before his 2014 loss to Sergey Kovalev in their light heavyweight unification fight.I learned so much sparring with Bernard. He is a very smart fighter inside the ring, Shabranskyy said. After every sparring session, we would sit down, and he would explain to me everything that he knew.dddddddddddd I was so excited to be in training camp with him. Bernards fight against Sergey Kovalev was not an easy fight, and Bernard gave him a tough 12 rounds. Bernard was able to adapt and strategized every round to last the 12 rounds.Now Shabranskyy faces Barrera, who was a standout amateur on the Cuban national team before coming to the United States. He has a tricky style and vast experience.Ive never fought anyone with his type of style. Although Ive seen many of his videos fighting, you never know who you are going to get in the ring, Shabranskyy said. We know that he has switched up his training camp, hes moved to Miami, which means we could see him fight a little different.We will tell what kind of Barrera shows up in the ring that day. It doesnt worry me that much, though. All I know is that I am training hard and will be prepared for it. Ill be able to tell you after the first round how its going.The 34-year-old Barrera (17-1, 12 KOs), a Miami-based Cuban defector, is coming off of a lopsided decision loss to Ward in March, and he is hoping to get back in the title hunt quickly.He will go into the fight with a new trainer, having split from Abel Sanchez, the 2015 Boxing Writers Association of America Trainer of the Year, in favor of Derik Santos. The reason for the switch, according to Barrera, is because he was more comfortable training in Miami than traveling to train at Sanchezs compound in Big Bear Lake, California.I had known about Derik for a long time, since I came to this country, Barrera said. My team and I thought this was the best decision to work closer to home. Camp is going great -- we had a long camp. It worked out perfect because I got time to really learn a lot of things from Derik.I must take advantage of my opportunity and do what I do best. It would be great to get a knockout because I know I am going into his home turf and his promoters home turf [and it is] going to be very tough to get a decision. My goal is to knock him out.The bout headlines a Golden Boy-promoted tripleheader that also includes two other 10-rounders:Junior welterweight Antonio Relentless Orozco (25-0, 16 KOs), 29, of San Diego, the No. 1 contender for unified world champion Terence Crawford, will risk his status against Fidel Maldonado Jr. (22-3-1, 19 KOs), 25, of Albuquerque, New Mexico.Welterweight Eddie Gomez (19-1, 11 KOs), 24, of Bronx, New York, will face Rashidi Ellis (16-0, 11 KOs), 23, of Lynn, Massachusetts, in the opener.
