Default Any sports memorabilia collectors? Need some display ideas

Well, I've just found myself on the winning side of an NHL Alumni auction for some game used, autographed hockey sticks (3 sticks to be exact). Looking for ideas on displaying them. The only other memorabilia I currently own is a signed puck in a case, and an autographed framed picture that is on the way.

2 of the sticks are relatable (Daniel and Henrik Sedin), the other is a Canuck as well, Bo Horvat. Some bugger outbid me on the Brock Boeser stick unfortunately. So, should I look to display the brothers' sticks as a set? Shadow box maybe, or just hang them together? Any ideas are much appreciated.

Cheers,
Racks

I wouldn't hang them over a fireplace. The temp changes long term could affect the sticks or autographs.

Hang the 2 Sedin sticks on the wall with a hockey helmet. Arrange them like a skull and crossbones. The 3rd stick under the skull and crossbones.

Use them for a year and then hang them up.
The sedin’s probably left some magical scoring power in them.
And they’ll look better on your wall after they’re well used.
