1972 marked the year that the NHL faced its first competition in many, many years, the WHA. The "Rival League" went after some the NHL's stars and lured away Bobby Hull, J.C. Tremblay, Derek Sanderson, Gerry Cheevers and many others.
 
1972 also featured what many think is the greatest series of hockey games in the history of the sport. Known as the Summit Series, Canada vs. USSR.  1972 - The Year In Hockey pays tribute to this event.
 
Where were you when Henderson scored his historic goal?
 
1972 - The Year In Hockey will feature a 200-card base set, hard-signed autographs, authentic game-used memorabilia cards and non-memorabilia inserts.
 
The 200-card base checklist will feature players from the NHL, WHA and Canada/Russia Series. Including two checklists cards #100 and card #200. Remember checking off your cards on those checklist cards every time you opened a pack.

Hall of Famers, hard to find WHA skaters and far away Russians will all be included in the autograph card checklist. Autograph cards will be inserted in a ratio of one to every seven packs**, so look for two-three autograph cards per box.
