Got'em, need'em, got'em, got'em Let's start collecting
again
1972 - The Year In Hockey takes you back to
the days when you would trade five cards for the one you needed to complete
your set.
Packed in wax wrappers with 9 cards per
pack*, 1972 - The Year In Hockey combines a lesson in hockey history with a
chance to relive your collecting days.
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.
